The crank pulley is what is driving the belt. All you have to do is to loosen the belt enough so it doesn't go around, you don't have to take it all the way off.

If the noise stops when the belt is not moving that usually means that something that the belt is driving has a bad bearing and that part needs to be fixed or replaced.

I would start off suspecting the tensioner pully.
