Yeah I am with Crystalworks on this one. You more than likely have bearing noise from one of the components.If it was not there before the alternator crap out then you probably got a defective alternator with bad bearing. I stay away from the rebuilt aftermarket items. You may have to put a stethoscope on the pulleys of the alternator and ac and see what you hear.
