UPDATE: While the alternator was the problem noise-wise, there is another problem now

A short while after replacing the alternator with a brand new one (not refurbished), my batterly light now comes on indicating what? The manual says belt problem? Everything is working GREAT, but that light is on. It came on briefly yesterday, but went out. Still out this morning when I took her for a drive. Came back on and stayed on.

Ideas?
Thanks!

Go to Auto Zone and see if a fault code has been set - no charge for this they say.
But if the battery is not being charged I'm not sure how far you can get and then restart it. As it sounds like it's not charging the battery now.
Are all the connections tight?
Can you do a voltage check at the battery with and without the engine running?
