Ah,I see the problem. You posted in the new member section, which doesn't get much traffic.

I have moved this thread to the stock 1995-2001 ( 2nd generation) sub forum for better responses

So the chirp noise only happens while the vehicle is moving?

Does it occur if you rev the engine in "park"?

Does it seem to be associated more with wheel speed, or more with engine speed?
 






Most likely a belt and/or pulley/tensioner issue. Remove the belt and see if your chirp goes away. With the belt off, you can check the pulleys one at a time.
