2001 Protege ES 2.0 alternator belt squealing

I recently replaced my alternator belt and it has begun squealing when I drive the car. The noise is not constant but mostly comes when the car is idling. It will disappear after the car accelerates past 3000 RPM. I notice if I spray a silcon lubricant on the belt the noise will disappear for a few days before it starts up again. Can anyone help and tell me what's going on?

Check whether its tracking properly and retension it again its probably still loose.
