I have been told it is the bearings in the alternator.
Yes I know it sounds terrible.
Thanks in advance.

Best thing to do is to remove the belt and spin all the tensioners and bearings by hand. Any looseness or roughness is likely to be the source of the problem.

I started the car up with the belt off, the noise had gone,(confirmation) so i proceeded to just replace the belt, and bingo no noise since.
Worth a try if you want to keep costs to a minimum.
I also was convinced it was pulleys, tensioner.

It was the altinator and the bairings in the tensioner.
