I's basically 3 phase ripple an I think a few 100 mV p-p. It's one of th alternator tests I usually do. heavy charging gives you a little more ripple.

An alternator has a normal range of operation. Most alternators need to spin at about 2,400 rpm at idle, have their maximum output above 6,000 rpm, and should never exceed 18,000 rpm

So 7.2 to 54 kHz
