Default Weird, chirping noise..pls look at description...

Annoying "Chirpong" at idle and it really sounds like a belt...but it's not the main belt.

1)As you raise the RPM the noise goes away at about 1800 RPM.

2)Removed the main belt though and the noise was still there.

3) Put a stethoscpe on the engine and it's not a mechanical knock
4) Sounds more pronounced on the driver's side
5) Checked the headers (at the head flange) not an exhaust leak

Yes, it started out like that but today became the "chirp" In fact, I gave the initial "ticking" little concern due to the fact that it was not constant and didn't necessarily follow the RPM.
