My alternator seems to be making a quite loud "hissing" noise when the car is running, it doesn't stop ofter a while either, just stays hissing all throughout any length of jurney

what could this be, is it shagged?

So to cure this what would need to be done? Would a diesel alternator help or are these the same as petrol engined vauxhalls?
