I know what it is. Its the alternator pulley not tensioned properly. However I dont know how to tighten it. Also correct me if Im wrong but the tensioner is on the front of the alternator right?

There are two bolts you have to mess with. First loosen up the bolt on the right side of the alternator. Then tighten up the front bolt on the alternator. Once you’re done adjusting it, tighten the bolt on the side of the alternator back up so it doesn't move.
 
i have the same problem the only difference is even after the car warms up if i turn the wheel the noise comes back any ideas what it might be
