Default chirping sound coming from the back drivers side

Im getitng a weird squeaking sound coming from the back drivers side of the car. Its only when the car is in motion. It literally sounds like a bird chirping and its ironic cuz it is a firebird, Im not sure what it can be. I thought maybe it was the brake pad, then I thought the sound was coming from my drivers side door. Now im just not sure where its coming from. I sprayed wd40 where i thought it might be coming from but still the squeks continue. Its annoying especially when my music is turned down and I am cruising.

It could be alot of things, if you could get a video and post it , then it'll be much easier to figure out.

I have a squeaking coming from my passanger car rear. Go to your car and push down on that side... does it squeak when the suspension is moving? If not then you know its not suspension related. This is the case for me. I looked further into it down as far as to the e-brake drum thing. I am 90% sure that is what is making my noise. I didnt have time to finish (it got dark) but I am going to rip it apart see if I can figure out what is squeaking with my e-brake. Hope that helps.

Mine is doign that too...it's kind of a metalic noise, quick, like a chirp, but over and over again...chirp, chirp, chirp... going down the road.

Since it sounds metalic, I'm thinking brakes...maybe the waer indicators on the pads are hitting the rotors.

Prob time to do brakes...I've had the car for just about 4 years and 43k miles, and I've never touched the brakes.

Time to jump on the Brakemotive deal I guess.

Has anyone got a idea what the chirping noise is? I have it in the front driver wheel well. Though it was the brake indicator, got new pads and rotors. Not as bad as it was, but still very annoying !! Please help me . The sound makes me want to punch myself in the face. And Lts and full exhaust do not cover this noise haha

In the front, it's probably the wheel bearing/hub. They're usually good for about 75K miles.

If it goes away when you pull on brake, you have your culprit and you can adjust as necessary.

I get one from under my passenger seat sometimes. You try grabbing that as your driving? Also, maybe fold down rear seat. See if it's the latches. Or spare tire? Just throwing crap out there to check.
