ticking/squeal at idle

i change my belt and flushed my coolant system this morning and i went driving for about 30 mintues and i noticed at ideal there is noise coming from under the hood that seems to be the belt? is this normal? could i have spilt coolant or something on it and thats what made it do that? or could it be something else? it only does it at ideal and when i hit the gas it goes away

any help would be great
thanks

I've heard that occasionally, think it to be just from moisture accumulation; noise goes away once it dries up. If it starts happening consistently and lasting longer, though, the tensioner or belt may be needing to be replaced.
