Default Lq9 quiet chirp at idle but goes away with throttle.

Hello, I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I've search all over to see if anyone has my problem but to no avail. My lq9 out of a 2005 Cadillac escalade makes a faint chirp noise at idle but when I rev it, it goes away. I know lt1s have problems with their 8th cylinder lifter getting oil last and making a noise, I was wondering if that could be my problem? Maybe a weak oil pump? Idk, any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

Pulleys are good, seems like the sound is coming from passenger side. But goes away with a little gas. I can try to post a video.

Remove the serpentine belt....start it up. See if the chirp is gone. If it is....PULLEYS or BELT.

If the chirp is still there....remove the A/C belt and start it up.....see if the chirp is gone.
