I don't think this would sound Clackity Clack, but since it's so
simple to check out it's worth the try: Do the fanblades on the
alternator by any chance hit anything? When the RPM on these go up
they tend to bend out a bit becuase of the centrufigal forces.
If they do, they'll make noise and eat through your fanbelt if
you're unlucky enough...

Hope this helps,
