The best I can make out is it may be the accessory (serpentine) belt or tensioner or accessory running on it. ---

Why did you have to replace your alternator belt? Could it be you have a bad bearing in the alternator that caused excessive wear on the belt in the beginning? When you reinstalled the belt, maybe you tightened it down too tight, or once again, maybe a bad bearing. There are several auto parts stores that will check your alternator for free, (i.e. O’Reileys, Auto Zone). ---
