Mine was doing exactly what you describe. I took the alternator belt off and ran the engine and the squeal went away.
So looked closer at the alternator and found the adjuster bar was cracked and this had caused the alternator to run on a slight angle. Replaced the bar and for a month no noise - eventually it came back as the alternator bearing had given out!!
Got a replacement alternator from James (j999pre) no more squeaking
Does your engine bay appear to have developed black dandruff? With the alternator running on worn a bearing the pulley will wobble and the belt rubs on the sides creating lots of tiny burnt rubber dust!
