As above, the first things to check.
If alls ok there, try oiling the input shaft uj's , they get sticky and notchy.
If it gets better after the oiling but still not right, oil some more and/or replace them.

When my viscous fan unit seized that had a knock on affect to my power steering an increase in noise and slight loss of power.

And i would assume a sticky / partly seized alternator would have similar affect with increased resistance on the belt
