Take off all the belts and see if it still makes the noise. Then add one belt at a time until you hear the noise; that will let you pinpoint where the source is.
Could be either, or something else entirely. Maybe it's your middle pulley. Start with nothing hooked up and add in a piece at a time until you hear it.
You could test the blade theory first if you'd like since that's the easiest to test.
