Noisy Alternator?? (With Video)
I started hearing an annoying sound from around my alternator. Before I buy another one, I wanted to see if anyone could confirm I'm on the right track. It's definitely based on the engine RPM's when I get into the higher RPM's I don't really hear it (probably because everything else is so loud). But as I ease up the RPMs from 800-1500 the interval of the noise increases accordingly.

It's a pulsating sound. Sounds like the air-pump. Unplug it to disengage the magnetic clutch at idle. Don’t worry; this won’t cause anything catastrophic during your diagnosis. If the sound stops then the air-pump is the source. Like the others....it's hard to tell from the vid audio.
