I replaced my serpentine belt and my car is making the whistling sound again. Will my new serpentine belt break?

Hello,

It sounds like you have an accessory or idles pulley that is going bad. Please remove the belt and spin the pulleys by hand to see which one is making the noise. This video should help show you what to do. On a different car but it shows the procedure.
