Alternator problem?
Here is a video showing the sound my car is making. not sure what it is ive check the belt, the pullys, the distributor cap, and the fan, they all look in good shape.
the car runs and drives normal just that loud noise coming from under the hood im thinking maybe its the alternator any input?

Take a paper towel tube and stick it up to your ear. Probe around near the alternator and see if that is where your noise is coming from. Whatever it is, it is howling. Shouldn`t be too hard to localize. Hey. One other thing I didn`t mention to check, probe the AC compressor while you are at it. Also, when watching your vid, I noticed the radiator fan blade spinning in an erratic manner. Check around that too. It sounds like you have a bad bearing in either the rad fan, alternator or A/C compressor.
