The belt tensioner on right side of engine, if you are facing vehicle, just below the altenator, is probably the problem. Mine made the noise all the time, bought part at Autozone, 18.99, its fixed, no noise.
I guess my first question would be are you sure you got the right replacement belt ? And are all of the pulleys on straight ?
Is the belt slipping, or coming off ?
Was the original belt giving you problems ?
{: ) There are shops that has these gadget to test the battery and charging systems at the same time. As of the time being, you can clean battery terminals for presence of corrosion, to have that clean tight connection to the battery. Check also your engine belt.
If you have a reliable digital multimeter, you can measure the charging voltage at the battery terminals when the engine starts to run. Should be around 13.8 to 14.5 volts depending on the loads that are on.
If the charging system seems to be okay, and you go for that new battery, check and observe again. If the same problem, you should have your vehicle tested for abnormal battery parasitic draw.
There may be a small hole or cut in a vacum line or possibly just loose. Also make sure the air filter box and the big hose to it are secure and clamps etc are tight. Pulleys and belts can make a high pitch sound also.
I had the same problem on my 2005 Envoy. Turned out to be the idler pulley bearing. It is just a pulley the belt rides on. The bearing in the pulley was what was making the high pitched whine. I replaced the bearing, and the noise went away.
