New Alternator Whistles??

Replaced the alternator and it works fine according to the volts meter but it whistles around 2rpms only, sounds like a turbo. I checked the belt and it feels fine, its not slipping or anything. A friends of mine says it might just be it wearing in but i installed it about a week ago and it still whistles at 2rpms...?

Anyone know why??
