Default another mustang problem

Well today in the morning when I started the car and started driving I noticed a whinning noise... It sounds exacly like one of those lawn cutting machines..... Wtf. Is it now? When I press the accelerator it gets worse... And also when I press the brakes... Can it be the alternator?

Yeah looks like your alternator is going out. My car sounds like it has a blower lol I gota buy a new alternator before this one craps on me. Have it tested in local auto zone

Well it doesn't "look" like anything but it could be a few things. Any drive assembly that has bearings. Check your Alternator power if it's normal then visually inspect it. You might want to try (while the cars off) grabbing the pulley and checking for play. You can do this with all your pulleys.
