Bad alternator bearing? Or waterpump
https://youtu.be/2ZP7K9oGRcw
I had a bad squeal so I replaced the belt and that sound went away and now I'm left with this chatter/ bearing noise can it be my alternator bearings or waterpump or even the tensioner maybe? I'm in desperate need of help thanks I highly appreciate it

In this case I could feel and see the edge of the belt was rubbing -- it was a serpentine belt -- and that arises from the belt not tracking true and that arises from a drive with play that lets the pulley get pulled out of its correct alignment.
If accessory drive uses a V-belt a sign the belt is not tracking properly can be pulley wall that shows some kind of wear pattern that doesn't match the other wall. Hard to describe but I know it when I see it. The one side is doing most of the work.
