Sounds like the alternator at full field. Could unplug the alternator and see if the sound goes away.

Green plug on the top side of the alternator opposite end of the belt.

If it is at full field the charging system thinks there is a large charging demand on the system. Could be a bad battery or something else.

Doesn't make it a good battery. Could be crib death.

Do you have a multimeter? Can you measure battery voltage running and not running? You might have a charging system problem if you killed a battery in 3 months and the alternator is whining.
