There are things other than the belt that can cause belt chirp like that.
Do this simple test: Take a can of silicon lube (the kind you spray on window and door seals) and as the engine is running, spray just a bit on the grooved side of the belt. If the chirping stops for a moment, you've found the source of the problem.
It may be belt tension related, but IF it's coming from the belt, I'd put my dime on a worn alternator pulley. Take the belt off, use black paint to paint the alternator pulley, let dry, reinstall belt and run engine. After it has chirped for a while, remove belt and check the pulley for polished-off paint on the tops of grooves, this indicates a worn pulley.
