It may be the alternator itself. Where did you buy the new alternator? I got one from either Autozone or Advance (can't remember which one) and after a few weeks it started to squeak real bad. I took it back and the guy at the counter looked at me like I was crazy because I wanted one that didn't squeak. Finally got a good one and no more squeak.
Obviously you can just spin the alt pulley by hand and listen to find out if that's the problem.
