Default Headstock bearing noise - HELP

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can think of a way it could still be the motor (I'm not saying it is).
The belt could be putting enough load on the bearing to make it squawk.
Taking the belt off would silence it. Harbor Freight has their mechanic's
stethoscope on sale right now. That's a really good way to isolate noises.
