It could be a bearing in your alternator that has gone out. Start your car and do whatever it takes to reproduce the sound. When the vehicle is making the sound, put a screw driver against your alternator and put your ear against the other side of the screw driver. If you hear the whining noice clearly through the screw driver, it's probly the alternator. Move the screw driver around the area and see if the noise that is passed through the screw driver is louder anywhere else, besides the alternator. If not, it's coming from your alternator. You can use a long screw driver or any solid piece of material, but the handle of a screw driver is a little more comfortable against your ear than other options.

Do you need the ac belt to run a 91 subaru legacy?

AnswerNo. The air conditioning belt only drives the compressor. The other belt drives the alternator and power steering pump. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. Technically you only need the timing belt to be functioning to be able to 'drive' the car under it's own power. It would however be running off battery power alone and would have no power steering.
