I agree, you really need to isolate the noise.
Sounds obvious, but were the other accessory-related pulleys checked for the sound, such as that of the A/C compressor, and the idler/tensionser pulley, when the other repairs were done? Pulleys that are out of alignment will cause the belt to squeal, too. Speaking of which, what is the condition of the accessory belt itself?
If your Sable has the 3.0L OHV engine, another source of a squeal-like sound could be a bad camshaft synchronizer and/or sensor assembly, although that usually throws a code:
