have you tried to tighten the belt more via the tensioner?

Try posting in the "Forced Induction/Nitrous" section of this forum. You'll get more attention there.

Post a video with sound if you can. Superchargers always make some noise, maybe your noise is normal, or could be worn belt, not enough tension, or pully needs to be aligned.

check pulley alignment, idler bearings, and the tensioner... centri blowers do make noise so if you just got the car and aren't familiar with it then it could just be normal... more details will definitely help

Definitely check pulley alignment. Typically the tensioner or or idler pulley are the culprit....but it could also be the power steering pulley or the balancer
