Loud, whiney, squeaky stock pullies?

Anybody got this while the car runs at idle? Kinda have to be standing outside to hear it well. I think only one of mine is making the noise, but having hard time determining which.

Wondering if I should take it in to the dealer to get replaced.

It was the "Upper Guide Pulley" that fixed it for me.

Here's a video before the replacement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BdboqCUak
