Default Chevy Suburban 2013 Making Noises

I have a couple of issues with my chevy suburban 2013 that I hope some of you can figure out the problem and advise me on how to fix it. My truck has about 94,000 miles on it.

Problem #1
I hear a spinning winey noise coming from the dashboard, closer to the passenger side, every time I accelerate. Although it is a low noise, it grows louder as I accelerate harder. When I press the break, the noise slows down. When I'm at a complete stop or idling, noise doesn't happen. Mechanics can't seem to figure out what it can possibly be. My thought is the alternator is going bad soon. Checked my voltage meter, and needle is below the 14 mark (the middle) and somewhere between 12 or 13. Noise isn't loud, but very bothersome. Any idea?

Problem #2
My steering wheel makes this clicking sound when I turn it to the left side. Doesn't make it when I'm steering right. Is this normal? My mechanic said it is normal, but it never made that sound before. Can it be power steering fluid?

Problem #3
When I drive through bumps or rough terrain, and my car is shaking left and right, I get a squeaky sound. Very annoying. I tested to see if I hear the squeaks outside my car by pulling down the windows, but I only hear it inside my car. Noise come from near steering wheel or under steering wheel, not sure. Can it be the wheels or shocks? I notice it doesn't squeak when I'm driving in the rain. I also haven't gotten an alignment and all my tires are shitty, if this info helps.

Hopefully, you guys can help. My mechanic can't identify the problem, but instead notices my coolant was leaking from radiator and my transmission coolant line was also leaking. So now I have to replace new radiator and transmission coolant line. Funny how you bring it in for something and end up having to fix other things.

#2. It sounds like alternator a/c noise back feeding through the charge wire. If you have a RadioShack near you, find an snap on choke that goes on your main charge wire. Should take care of the noise.
