How old is the belt
1. I have heard old belts make this noise and a new fixes the problem.

2. Belt dressing can cause this, not saying anyone put it on.

How did it come about - gradually???

Well, before the truck went into the shop it wasnt making the noise. When it came out (8 months later) it was and there has never been belt dressing on the belts.
