   Hello,does anyone have a clue on where this noise could come from?
   
   PS: You may want to lower the volume down as the phone made it a lot louder than it is in the reality.
   
   
   If it can help i have the battery light on when the engine is cold,it goes away one it's warmed up,this is the only issue that i think could be related to it in some way.
   Thanks.

   Alternator bearings are shot.

   Thanks,can those be replaced without buying a whole new alternator?

   Erm no mate,unless you fancy stripping down the alternator.or getting the alternator tested and repaired by an auto electrician.

   There are places which will do a recon on them, just google for them there's bound to be one in your area. Could always ring a few garages and see if they could recommend someone.
