Default Alternator Squealing

Belt seems tight but when I rev the engine above idle I'm getting a constant squeal from the alternator area. Taking it in for service tomorrow to see if the alternator bearings are shot. Anyone else experience these symptoms????

You didn't happen to hose down your engine lately?

Just got car back from service and all they would tell me is that I had a "noisy belt" that was replaced under warranty. Test drive and squeal is gone. Don't really understand "noisy belt."
