whats the mileage, does the car have any history , cambelt/ waterpump change.
it sounds like a pulley /bearing but with out being there with engine running bonnet up and wheel off to find the area it comes from its hard to say . an old trick is remove the aux belt start the car if its gone that narrows it down.

second this, Ive heard an intermitent compressor clutch failure sound a bit like this. Does it go away if you turn AC off on the centre console?

Is this a petrol or diesel 1.6 ?

as bugsb suggests removing the aux belt is a very good way to identify if its something on the aux belt run that is the culprit ,

Another key question - were you getting the noise before the new alternator ?
