Help sound 1.2 tdi engine

Hi everyone! Besides saying that I'm new here and that I think this site is wonderful, I wanted to ask if anyone could tell me what this sound could be. I can only hear (at least when I do) inside the car. It's like a grr grr grr when idling, and when I accelerate, the sound seems to get a little faster and louder. I went to a mechanic and he told me it could be "the alternator head" (?). If anyone could help, thanks! I have vídeos but i think i cant uploaded it.

Welcome to SCN, try posting/searching in the threads for the model of car you have, as not all members read this newbies section, good luck hope you get it sorted.

Can you please tell me what model and year your car is? I will then move your post to the appropriate section. Thanks.
