    You may have reinstalled the source of the squeal if you reinstalled the same serpentine belt that you took off for water pump replacement. Typically though the belt will squeal when cold and can stop after running for a bit. More likely that you have a tensioner pulley bearing, idler pulley bearing or bearing at one of the other accessories that is causing the noise. Have checked at a shop.
