The serpentine belt tensioner is not adjustable. If a new or 'young' belt is loose, likely the tensioner is going to have to be replaced.

2 other causes of squealing are a worn belt, or if the surface of the belt has become glazed are a couple of causes of squealing.

NOTE: The belt tensioner has a built-in wear indicator - it'll be hard to see, but there really are markings on the side to indicate when the spring is weakening and not holding the belt tight to the pullies.

What would cause a loud humming noise when you let off the gas on your Ford Taurus?

Ive read that most Taurus cars have a faulty pulleythat the serpentine belt runs through which makes irritating noises such as squeaking, humming, tilted steering. It must be replaced to fix the problem. Belt conditioner is a temporary fix however u would have to use it daily. Highly reccomended to just get it replaced. hope this helps.
