The belt is probably bad. Maybe got some oil, brake fluid, or who knows what on it which is now causing it to squeak a bit.

Had this happen on my GT, except it would squeak for about 2 minutes. I replaced the belt with a Gatorback and now all is silent.

Just be sure it's really the belt before you replace it. The squeaks should come in intervals that match the rotations of the belt.

mine does it whenever I get water on it, whether it be rain or hitting a bigass puddle in the rain
it goes away once the water works its way off the belt.

It just means the belt is getting old and you should think about replacing it sometime soon.
