Check out the following two videos that might help. The first is a method of checking the various pulleys and tensioners to see if the noise is coming from them. Needless to say, once you've watched the video, if you attempt it, please be very careful.

The second video I came across sounds similar to yours and may be worth checking out, although the location of the alternator may make it difficult to do what's shown in the video:
