I replaced my aux belt early on and i moved the alternator as far forward as i could fitted it all up etc

I dont know if it should do this but it makes a sorta of whining noise? Im not sure on what the noise is but it werent there before and only noticable whilst driving and not revving it whilst its idle

Be worried or not?

No its not, im gonna loosen up tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. Any idea on how tight it should be? Your can turn the belt half a turn, as in so you can see the teeth and no more
