Alternator whine

I am inclined that Your serpentine slips then. It isn't tensioned well enough or its surface is oiled.
Technically speaking, excessive excitation current of Your alternator could create a higher drag load (and battery voltage), but since it is not overheating, I'd assume it is OK. Measuring the currents could confirm that, but doing that ain't easy task.
Get a clean rag, soak with alcohol and swipe over the serpentine surface. See what You'll get.
