Name that Noise

I have a '99 Coupe with a 6spd. I'm getting some squeaking noises from my belt under certain engine loads, particularly at 60mph in 6th gear. I've already replaced the main drive belt and the tensioner. Anybody have any ideas or has anyone experienced this problem as well?

Thanks in advance

The only thing that I can suggest is that with these serpentine belts, if any one of your pulleys is not perfectly aligned, they will squeek. Do NOT, I repeat do NOT ever use belt dressing on these belts. It will quiet the problem for a mile or two, and then it will come back worse than ever and NEVER go away, as any residue on the pulleys will make it slip enough.

Does it squeak with the air condition on and off? There is a separate belt for the air condition compressor.

The noise is the same with or without the AC on.
