Roaring air sound

I recently changed my power steering pump on my 2008 f 150. After putting the hoses, fan, radiator hose and belt on i started the engine but i had to shut it off after seeing the smoke coming from my belt area. I later learned I completely missed the alternator but the way I had it made it tight like it normally is making me think I had it right, but it wasn't. After fixing this problem I developed a new problem that I can't figure out why it's happening. It sounds like there is a huge air hole roaring through my engine. On top of that I don't think it's got the correct power it normally did. If somebody can tell me what this might be and hopefully it's something I can fix or did I screw something up majorly by putting that belt on wrong. I put a code reader on but it show a caution symbol but no actual codes.
