I'm glad I'm not the only one. I changed the belt, tensioner and
shock. Haven't found it yet. I'll keep you posted.

I have the exact same belt swoosh and also thought it might be the water pump.
I eneded up figuring that it was just the belts that needed replaced, but I
have not done that yet...guess that did not solve your swooshing.

heck. Funny thing is that if the belt is wet it goes away. I don't know
what to do other than live with it- I at first thought it was the
waterpump- I had one sound like this in a Saab I had. But that wouldn't
explain why it is silent when the belt is wet.
Of all the major things I have been able to diagnose and fix myself,
this little bugger is driving me mad!

Did you replace it when you did the other work on the tensioner
assembly?
Check and verify that the center bolt in the tensioner arm is still tight --
I've never experienced the swoosh before - just guesses ----
