I don't recommend any aerosol belt dressing, most are no different than WD-40 in composition. I'd check your belt for wear, cracks, and possibly foreign debris (ie: pebbles, glass etc). If your belt appears to be structurally sound, then take a lithium grease-stick and hold it on your belt for a few seconds as the engine runs... this will quieten your belt.
Or you could tighten up the belt as well. Once belts get old, they start to stretch, resulting in a loose squeaky belt.
answer make sure belt has correct tension. also use belt dressing on belt. available at any auto store
I'd highly discourage using any type of aerosol spray for two reasons:
1. The sounds usually gets worse seconds after you apply it.
2. It usually leaves a nasty residue not only on the belt, but on parts around it and if the belt is too loose and you have to tighten it, you have to clean all that crap off of it.
It's either too loose or there's something wrong with it....as stated above.

What causes a squeaky alternator and how can you fix the problem on a 96 Chrysler town and country?
A squeaky alternator is sometimes a sign that the fan belt or something associated with it is squeaking, not the alternator. (Possibly the belt or belt tensioner) So first I'd make sure it's actually the alternator squeaking before I proceeded. You could try some belt dressing on the belt and see if that helps or changes the squeak. If however it is the alternator, that's usually a sign the bearing's gone out and you will need to replace the alternator.
