have your tensioner checked. And do a search on the forum. Many have been replaced due to what assumingly sounds the same for you.

Yes. But first take off the belt and check it for yourself. Get a good feel for how each rotating component feels. Listen to the squeeks and such. Observe how much for/aft and side to side play it has. Then after they fix it, repeat.

Anytime a guy can use a situation like this to build experience is a good thing.
