It may not be from your alternator- I had the same prob when I installed my
new Blaupunkt system this spring.  The whine came from improperly insulated
sparkplug wires.  I switched my OEM wires for a set of Jacobs Energy Core
Sparkplug wires, and the noise vanished.  You can contact Jacobs @
(800)825-8800.  I hope this helps- good luck.
