My car has recently started making a constant whining noise which can be heard at all revs, especially at low revs. It basically sounds like the engine is more high-pitched than usual. I have also noticed out of the corner of my eye whilst driving that occasionally the battery light flickers on for a fraction of a second and then goes off again. I've checked the oil, and have recently replaced the battery, so they aren't a problem.
I don't know much about cars, but does this sound like an alternator problem? That would make sense to me as the pitch of the whining noise increases with the revs in the engine, so it must be something that's being turned by the engine.
If so, any idea how much it costs to get an alternator replaced?
Any help would be much appreciated!
