Belt noise on my AR turntable


I am hearing belt noise from my AR TT.
The belt was replaced a few years ago and does not show, visually, any sign of wear.

When I add a slight pressure to the side rim of the platter, a load, the noise stops.....

Looking for suggestions to solve the problem.

When it stretches you don't have to see the wear.
Try to laundry it with warm or cold gentle cycle. You can do that with like clothes as well. It may shrink.
Other than that, if the belt is cheap I'd order several of these.
