Default new noise from under teh hood. chirping

ive got a new noise i cant pin down. its a chirping noise i think that is coming from the passenger side of the motor. it occurse usually when the motor is revving down and when i let off for a shift. im thinking its some kind of vac leak but i cant find it and the car is still ideling running fine. i had to take it on a long trip this week with the noise and milage/performance hasnt been affected. i just had the TB/maf off and did some polishing on the outside. anyone have ideas on where it could be coming from?
i am at work in northern new mexico and would like to get it fixed possibly before i head back to houston

Sounds like a belt tensioner or pulley starting to go bad.

You'll be fine traveling but if that noise bothers you that much just buy a new tensioner/pulley/belt
