it should be your belt that is making those noise..usually when the belt get wet that the noise it will make and eventually it'll go away after it dry up...

doublecheck the tightness of your alternator belt...they like to slip. Check the other belts too of course

actually, you'll wanna first loosen the bolt, then take a long/stout flathead screwdriver or prybar and pry back on that alternator to increase belt tension on the alt. belt. Then tighten the bolt back.

actually you're mistaken, that squeeling sound is your turbo spooling up
