Very typical of a dry rubber belt squeaking against the polished metal
pulleys.
The alignment and/or tension may have been corrected during the service,
and changed
the way it sounds.
I would double check the alignment/tension adjustments, and soak the belt
cogs good
with armor-all or equivalent rubber treatment.
