If it goes up and down in pitch with engine speed, then it is often 
dirt on the generator field poles which has built up to where it 
"touches" the armature and makes this noise. As far as I know it 
causes no harm, but it is easily cured by taking the generator apart 
and wiping out the accumulated dist/dirt.
