Mine done the same mate Im a mechanic and I could have done it myself but I took it to a garage just because I wanted the service book stamped etc..
When they did it they used an eletronic tensinor on it, and when I took it home it was squealing like yours. Normally when they set the tension on the tool they use, they dont reset it again for different cars and the tensions on each car differ slightly.
Anyway sorry to go on but I decied to take it apart and retension it myself and its fine now:y:!!
Just make sure if you do it yourself, you dont make it to loose...
Good luck mate.
