Alternator A/C voltage question

I'm trying to diagnose a nagging alternator whine with a new stereo install. Checking if the alternator is causing issues or not.
I've been trying to solve this for months and can't figure it out

I'm trying to figure out if I should be a new alternator.

I just wanted to compare the readings and see if mine are out if whack.

I set the multimeter to AC, positive to alternator stud, negative to the battery or ground.
I'm getting a reading of about 0.150V AC

What I'm trying to find out is if this reading is normal or if I need a new alternator.
