Hello
My car is making a ringing noise around the belts when it is warmed up. I am wondering if it is the harmonic balancer. Any help would be appreciated.

It's more likely an idler. You'll have to isolate it with a stethescope.

Or using your ear on a long handled screwdriver, being careful not to get your head too close to the moving belt.

Re: Noise ringing sound
now it seeems that the noise has not been half as loud as it was that morning where it was piercing. coming from the belt area after I had driven about 20 miles. using a highway. but since then I hear it but it is not so loud. I cant isolate it I have tried. I will wait till it does it again and I will try to analyze the sound and where it is coming from.

Try removing the belts, start the car and check for noise.
