Default Serp belt still squeaks

so i replaced this thing twice in less then a month and it squeaks. it drives me nuts. if there somethin i can apply or spray on it to take this away? my idler pulley isnt making the noise, because it goes away for a cpl days after i change the belt, then it comes back. thx.

Last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a belt problem as well, because a fresh belt would clear up the noise for a short while. But after a couple times of that I noticed that the tensioner pulley had some play in the bearings, so I replaced it and the noise has now been gone for several months.

how many miles on the crank pulley ?a high mileage crank pulley can wear and there less contact with the ribs of the belt.
