Default pulley squeal

i just recently put a new gatorback serpentine belt on to silence the ungoldy belt squeal. since doing that ive heard what sounds like my power steering pulley chirping. the reason i think its that particular pulley is because when i open the hood the sound seems to be coming from that area. also when i turn the wheel the squeal starts to change its tone. if anyone can help my solve this it would be greatly appreciated.

Check your crankshaft pulley. If it's never been replaced, it's probably time to. When they start failing, the cause belt squeal.
