I think when he says "the g40 is running over the timingbelt and NOT like serial over the V-belt"

he means its running toothed belts like the timing belt.

Its got some whine but i bet he's smaller than a 65mm pulley.

I've had mine almost whining the same and my belts were as tight as possible. Dont do them any good though.
