The belt is slipping. Make sure your tensioner is in good shape and fastened down correctly and that the right size belt has been installed.
Or it could be a bearing going bad in the alternator and providing resistance against the belt.
Have you tried a little salt?

or a bad idler pulley... mine went bad as soon as I put in a new belt as well.. weird i know. but normally your first pulley's to go will be your alternator/idler. I bet your spring was compressed too much when they installed the new belt... You probably need a new belt tensioner.
