I have a 2.4 2004 KIA Spectra battery chargimg problem, the car came for an oil change for some reason the mechanic said the car started and the battery seems to have been low on volts so he did a voltage test which resulted poor volts, recommended a battery and an alternator two days after the car came for window tinting the guy had to work with the windows open for a some time with the radio on and before long the battery died, have it bosted up and running maybe 20 min, thinking all is well shut the engine off, for about 10 min, the car couldn't start However I change the alternator wich happen to be charging at first, let me say 3 min and then stop charging period, I check the alternator relay it is good, but the battery light on the dash is not commimg on for nothing even with the key on engine off (KOEO)?
That doesn't sound like it has anything to do w an alternator, possibly a faulty battery but alternators do stop charging in a second.

it may be the ignition switch itself. If it is a manual transmission it could be the clutch safty neutral switch located on the clutch pedal.

The ringing noise could be from a bad alternator, a loose bolt, a loose pulley or gear or possibly a low fluid level in the power steering pump. Try listening for the noise when the engine is idling, then as you rev the motor from 1000 to 1800rpm and also while you are driving on the street and the highway. While the car is in park and running, crank the steering wheel right and/or left until it stops and hold it there to listen for noises from the power steering. The electronic gurgling noise and chattering noises could be failing bearings in one of the pulleys (tensioner, idler,etc. and/or possibly a water pump bearing. Here is a tip for diagnosis- Find 3/8 drive extension that is at least 12" to 18" long. Open the hood and start the car. Take one end of the extension and place it on the alternator body away from any electrical connections, pulleys, belts, etc. and put your ear against the other end and listen for chattering, ringing or any other odd noise. Then do the same to the p/s pump, a/c compressor, etc. BE SURE YOU SAFELY APPLY THIS TECHNIC AND IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE, TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL. SAFETY FIRST.
