I guess there’s a couple of things you could check in this case to isolate components.
Check the belt grooved side for cracks or glazing, especially check it if you bend the grooved side back and open, there should still be no visible cracks.
you can run power and ground to both electric fans one at a time listen for that noise, maybe they are going bad, just a thought!
Can you consistently get the noise to come and go when power the a/c on and off? powering it on and off could still be caused by either belt or compressor.
you may check these things if you haven’t already.
wish I could think of something more right now! Have fun!
