TT 1.8t whining noise coming from belt area!

Alright guys, I know I am new here so I'll let y'all know what my issue is.

I have a 2002 Audi TT 1.8t quattro, 5-speed manual.

Today when I was driving it, I was on 1st gear at a stop light and my foot accidentally slipped off the clutch making the car jerk tremendously. I acted quickly and pressed the clutch again, but after that happened, the car immediately started to give me a whine (like a supercharger) noise. I got back home and I noticed the noise came from the belt area.

When I was driving back home, I noticed that the car kind of jerks at 2k RPM but then runs normal.

So what do you guys think it could be?

Tensioner, water pump, pulley, or what?

Thanks!

It's not your shifting, it means the pulley in the timing belt is about to go, that's what happened to mine which is why I'm changing the timing belt and pulleys.

I can't actually figure exactly where the whine is coming from. Anyway, I'm in the process of completing my Timing Belt kit. Still can't decide whether to go with GMB or Graf water pump. For the tensioner, it'll be Gates and maybe SKF or GMB for the pulley.
