To easy for the alternator?

I just added ground wires on the Festiva similiar to ones I put on the Aspire. The funny thing is that did the same thing. I can hear a audible click, sounds like the bearings in the alternator or water pump. It didn't do this on the aspire or the festiva before. With is the heavier ground wires is the load to light for the alternator? I didn't notice anything power wise like I did on the aspire, but the headlights seem brighter, turns over a little quicker.

The heavier wire would reduce resistance which would allow more current to flow, thus putting more load on the alternator, but I don't see how that would make it click.

It gets quieter as it warms up.. almost goes away fully warmed up. Weird.
