740 GLE 16-valve timing belt whine 700 1989

I recently replaced my timing belt and balance belt with the handy instructions on this page. It mentions that the balance belt whines at first until it's broken in. I replaced the belts about 400 miles ago and there's still a noticable whine. If I loosen the belt, the whine quiets down, but the belt seems loose. When it's tightened so that moderate thumb pressure gets about 1/4" deflection, I get the whine. The old belt was about that tight when I got the car, and there was only a slight whine. Does this sound like the belt is too tight, or should I wait longer for it to break in?
Thanks,
-Fran
