If your belts are fine/brand new then it's probably the tensioner pulley the belts go around. Might be faulty, but not sure. That's what I would guess it to be.

try taking some brake cleaner and clean the pully, or adjust the tension

I think I am having the same noise. When i am at a complete stop and begin to release the clutch in 1st gear, there is small high pitched squeel or whine. It does sound like a belt and i have been trying to figure out how to fix it.

^ like states above, spray some wd-40 or brake cleaner on one of the pulleys, if it stops sqeaking then you'll know which belt is whinning.
