Try revving the engine in park and see if the noise is there before buying another belt. If the noise isn't there it is something else.

I would not drive the vehicle with the belt off. Since you hear the noise while rev'ing the engine in park, then the noise is RPM dependent.
I would remove the belt and check over all pulleys for play and/or gritty feeling. Then start the engine and see if the noise is still present when you rev it. You can safely run a cold motor for a minute or two without a problem.
After you reinstall the belt, check the tension. You should not have more than a 1/2" of deflection in the belt in the longest stretch between pulleys if it is tensioned properly.
