Default alternator dying???

i had this whirling noise from the engine for a month or so now and it only was there for the first couple minutes of driving or when the car just turns on.....i looked under the hood today and i think i pin pointed the sound. it seems like its coming from the alternator. I dont have any problems with the car so i dont know if it needs changing or not. It has like this high pitch chirping sound like cha cha cha cha cha over and over and you rev it a little and sound disappears.


P.S Its not the secondary air pump guys i checked that with the mech loll
