The community could use more description of the sound-

 

My questions are (for diagnosis):

 

If it's related to the speed of the car, or the speed of the engine?

Does the thumping get faster with speed?

Have you isolated it's location? (perhaps it's a single wheel... test by driving slowly with the windows down one at a time)

Does it make the noise only while turning left or right?

Does it go silent when the brakes are applied even while in motion still.? 

Can you feel the thumping in the steering?

 

Have you looked under the car?; Is there a heavy duty plastic bag wrapped around the drive axle, or something similar to that? 

Is part of the seatbelt hanging out of the car? (yes, sounds stupid but it got me once!)

 

Just trying to locate the issue, then rule out the simplest causes first.

I'll admit, I'm just completely confused about what this post is about. Is there a thump under the car or in the engine compartment making you think it's a belt? Would like to help, but not sure how it all comes together - could just be a slight imperfection in the tire itself.
