It`s a sweaking sound as the motor is running. Maybe a belt tinioner ? It seems to be getting loader. Anyone have any ideas on what it is and how much to fix ?

sweaking?
Squeaking?
loader?
Louder! :-)
If it's actually a hi-pitched whine, maybe more pronounced when motor is cold, it could be belt tensioner pulley and/or idler arm pulley or conceivably an alternator bearing.
If not, take a deep breath and try for a better description of the problem. And type slower.

Some to older 4.6 had a problem with the chain slider type tensioners, yours indeed may be one.
