Just focus on the alternator belt. Press in the center of the belt between the alternator and crank pulley. Does it feel loose?

Check these three bolts:





And where is the noise around the alternator coming from?

How could the pulley be bad? You have no idea what you are doing do you? If you don't you should just admit that. It would be easier to help you.

Is the belt loose or not?

Did you check the belt tension and three bolts? Did you pinpoint the noise?

Marc may be right. If you can't do the most basic troubleshooting and answer questions, paying a mechanic may be your only option.

Unless you start answering questions, I may need to close this thread.

just checked the 2 top bolts and belt everything is very tight.. also seems to only blink n make noise at idle.. even if i put the fan on it stops.. im gonna check the bottem ones soon

Good progress. Did you try pinpointing the noise? If all alternator nuts and bolts are tight and the noise is coming from the alternator itself, it's a pretty safe bet that replacing the alternator will fix the problem.

not to sure the belt might just need to be tighter i think i tightend it up a lil and the batt blinking light seems to be flickering faster now.. how can i get the belt super tight?

Wedge a pry bar or breaker bar beween the engine and alternator.
