Thanks,

I had this problem before you have tighten it more. Squeaking is a slipping belt.
So tighten it more but not too much. Trail and error and you will get it..

Mine was squealing on start ups, I grabbed a bolt that fits in the alternator bracket, bolted it in slightly, used the bolt for leverage when using a pry bar to pry the alternator towards the front bumper, retightened the alternator adjusting bolt while applying pressure. Now it's silent even during cold mornings.

I had the same problem. Squeal for a second or two almost every time I started the car. Last time I was in for an oil change I asked them about it. They said the belt was good and had a looked around and noticed the gasket was leaking oil right by the belt. It was not a bad leak, never dripped to the driveway, but just enough to get a tiny bit on the belt and small amount at the bottom of the engine bay. Had my gaskets redone and have not had any squealing since.
