I had both an alternator & balancer making noise about 2 years ago... I didn't realize it at the time and had the balancer replaced first before I realized the other was also making noise. It was the loud 'birds chirping' sound which you describe; while somewhat of a pain I was able to replace it from the top without removing the radiator by unbolting and carefully pivoting the PS out of the way.

OH, I figured out my sound. It was my power steering pump really low on fluid. The thing that irks me was I had just taken it to an oil change place that is supposed to top off your fluids. It came in making that sound & was still making it when I left. Took it to my mechanic, they topped it off & noise went away.

Mine makes it too...
Belt dressing made it worse! Much worse! Then my water pump failed, thought maybe that was the source but nope....still chirping.
My balancer looks a bit wobbly....bout to put in some revshift MMs first.
