Question not clear

Loud squeel when you goose it or is it a constant loud squeel or is it a squeek?

If an actual squeel belt needs to be tightened--If squeek either rough up the belt or buy some belt dressing.

You just didn't get the belt tight enough when you installed the new alternator. Sometimes belt dressing will stop it temporarily, but will eventually come back. Just tighten the belt.
