Is my alternator fixin to quit?

My battery gauge seems to pulsing. With my headlights on they seem to pulse too. This only happens under power, never at idle. Alternator or something else? Thanks

Alternator, loose wire, stereo up too loud. A multimeter probably won't have the sample rate to capture the fluctuation, so check your wires and get the alternator tested.
