This may seem fairly obvious and likely already checked, but have you looked for a mechanical issue with the alternator? bad bearing or pulley rubbing?
You probably recall the issue I recently went through with the alternator bearing on my goose...
perhaps disconnect the wiring and fire it up, see if the noise is still there...
