Probably best to whip the cover off and have a look for any marks inside, or anything else out of place. It's only a couple of bolts, max two skinned knuckles and ten cuss words. :)

It's a Corrado, they do things like that just to annoy you or get attention. It may be something to do with heat or expansion of bits but I really haven't a clue as to why. Seriously though, given the slightly disastrous consequences if the belt goes I would have a look ASAP. While in that area I would also give the crankshaft pully bolt a check as well.

 

Have you tried using a long screwdriver as a stethoscope substitute to try and tie down the location of the noise.
