Sprinkle some water on the belt and see if it makes the squeal go away for a few seconds. If so, I suggest simply replacing the belt.
In the past, I have tried "belt dressing" spray, but its effect was temporary. Also, I once put on a new belt and it squealed over 4000 RPM no matter how tight it was. I chucked it and got a different brand and everything was OK. Out of kindness to my alternator and water pump I keep my belt rather loose, much looser than newer car manuals suggest. If I try to turn the alternator pulley fairly hard by hand, I can, with the belt slipping. (Do not do this test with the engine running!) But I never get any squealing.
