We say that..without knowing for sure.
Dbeast had put his belt on the wrong rib and it was making noise. In the dark on the way back from Florida.. we got it on properly and it'* stopped fraying since.
I need to hop on the recommendation for a couple cans of engine degreaser and putting the belt on properly..then watching if it walks over again. At this point..the belt is bad and available for testing.

If Dbeast can do it.. (uh..yeah..forget it..lol)
It'* possible this belt was off a tooth, it'* possible a pulley or tensioner is bad.

Hmmm..... The power steering pump in my 1993 SSEi went out too. My PS pump was spraying enough power steering fluid on the belts that the longer belt (It is on the supercharger, AC, and water pump) would slip off and get stuck behind the water pump pulley. It ate one belt completely and slightly frayed another. Not sure if your problem is the same as mine, but maybe your belts are slipping a little and that is causing the wear.
