Check the belt tension first and condition of the belt...
Alternators usually don't squeak...

Re: Alternator squeaking in 70 c/20
As Aussie said, Belts squeak, alternator bearings may squeak right before they seize up.
With the belt removed, is the alternator tough to turn?

Re: Alternator squeaking in 70 c/20
Try changing the tension on the belt, but before you do that, put a bar of soap against the belt while the engine is running. It will often silence (or at least change the sound of) a squeaking belt. Be careful not to damage any body parts, such as your fingers.
