Double check the condition of the belt and tension. It could be contaminated with oil or simply is loose.

We did that, even tried a new tensioner, still the same problem!

Back a step: Is the tension of belt correct new tensioner or not? Dumb - but is PS fluid full? If not find out how and why it isn't. As Steve said belt contamination - especially coolant can make noise but the pro ear would know it's that and not an actual part issue.

Typically low fluid will make a buzzing sound like a blenderCrazy but can do that and be full as well.

Other pulleys are more of a whine or growl. Hard to explain what can take 10 seconds in front of you if you have been there and heard them a few times.

Don't ignore it whatever it takes and coincidences do happen and are not necessarily caused by the work done,

If all of these check out ok, remove ALL drive belts and start engine. If noise is still there, it is in the timing belt system.
