Which belt was over tightened?

Damaging a pulley, not likely. However, it is possible to damage the
bearings in a device that is turned by that pulley. Alternator bearings
come to mind here.

Another possibility is that they did not change the timing belt tensioner
bearing. An old bearing will usually not make noise with an old belt.
However, once a new, properly tensioned belt is put on the bearing can begin
to make noise. Check your invoice. It would be interesting to know what
parts they did put into the timing belt.

I would take it back to the dealer until they get it right. You could take
it to another shop and have them diagnose the problem and then take that
information with you to the dealer. However, that will wind up costing you
for the other shop's diagnosis time.

If it really is a whistling noise, then one possible source is the PCV
valve. If you pinch the hose connecting to the PCV valve closed and the
noise stops then you've found your problem.
