Belt tensioner problems

Whine from engine during driving

Toyota Corolla 1996 1.8 AE102 manual  90000 miles
Hi, I have a Toyota corolla 1.8 AE102 1996 I fitted a new timing belt and tensioner as well as the water pump, now when I start and drive I get a whine from the belt as if it is too tight but the tensioner is pre set with a spring load tho I did rotate the engine and loosened and retightened the tensioner. Can I loosen the tensioner in place and tighten it again to give it some slack? When I feel the belt it does feel good and secure as I used gates belt and tensioners the noise is slight whine tho it's driving me crazy as I'm doing a long distance trip next week.
