No.
Try running it without the drive belt on the alternator.
If it persists, run it with the tbelt covers off. Check to make sure the cam pulleys are running straight and not rubbing on anything.

The noise is not normal to any gl I've owned. If it does it with alternator belt disconnected, it's not the alt or charging whine. If the cams are turning true, and still making the noise with the covers off, it's not rubbing on the backing plates or t-belt covers. That really only leaves the tensioners (without opening the case). Use a stethoscope while running to isolate the noise. Or maybe just a rubber/plastic tube.
