It sounds like it is bad and needs to be replaced because of bad bearings.

Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job:

INSTALL GENERATOR ASSEMBLY
Install the generator assembly with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 43 N.m (438 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf)

Install the wire harness clamp bracket with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 8.0 N.m (82 kgf.cm, 71 in.lbf)

Connect the wire harness.
Connect the wire harness to terminal B and install the nut.
Torque: 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7.0 ft.lbf)

Connect the connector to the generator assembly.
Install the wire harness stay with the bolt.
Torque: 8.0 N.m (82 kgf.cm, 71 in.lbf)

INSTALL FAN SHROUD
INSTALL RADIATOR SUPPORT TO FRAME SEAL LH
INSTALL V-BANK COVER
CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE TERMINAL

And here is how to replace the alternator on your car (below) I have included both four and six cylinder engines.

You should check the alternator once the job is completed.
