Default timing belt tensioner

my accord makes this stupid noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shMCT7yuXpA, someone told me that loosening the tensioner on the belt will fix it....im hoping this means i just have to loosen a bolt or something...can anybody tell me how to loosen it or do i have to pull half the car apart

if you go to autozone.com and register for free, go to engine overhaul and you will see how to adjust your timing belt tensioner. But before you do anything. Get yourself a stethescope. the same thing that a doctor uses to listen to your heart, but for cars. it has a couple of extensions so you can reach in hard to get places. place the rod to an object and you can hear where the noise is really coming from. It also sounds like the alternator bearing, and the p/s bearing, listening to your utube.
