New noise coming from engine bay.

New noise coming from engine bay.
I really havent driven my car in 2 weeks. I slipped into a ditch in a rain storm and bent some suspension stuff which was replaced. The frame may be bent a little.
My car is a lot quieter because the suspension squeeks less from the new parts. I however have noticed a new sound from outside the car while its idleing. It sounds like a tapping noise. I don't think its coming from the engine itself. It seems like it has something to do with the alternator. I have a new serpentine belt but I am missing one screw from my alternator (Will replace as soon as i find one). Is it possible that my alternator is making this noise or that the belt is hitting something and making it?
Btw, is there anything i can do to quiet down the alternators normal sound which seems kind of loud from outside the car but not at all from inside.

I really didnt take the belt off but im pretty sure it has something to do with the alternator, pullies, or a fan hitting something. I can't find what though.

i actually too have the same noise which just started a little while ago, it sounds like a ticking or clicking from the alternator, not sure what it is, ill probably mess with a few things this weekend, but not sure if ill be able to figure it out.
