Careful here. The intakes that kids put on there cars these
days also make a whistling sound under acceleration.

If you have a ton of stereo stuff in the car, then yes, the
alternator won't sufficiently keep the battery charged.

Put the battery on a charger. If it doesn't charge, that's the
prob. If it charges nicely and keeps the charge, then get an
alternator.

If you need help, I have a guy that will build 150amp alt. for
you, from an OEM Honda, $295.00. Reply here if you need the
info.
