Could be a belt, maybe your alarm horn freaking out, hell, you could actually have a bird in there!

mostlikely alt belt.

I had a sound that I described as sounding like a bunch of little birds. It turned out to be my throwout bearing failing. It stopped after a week or two, and nothing happened for months... then the bearing seized.

I've heard this from a spark plug wire not being in all the way

it means pop the hood while the cars running and look/listen. probably a belt..

Ok I heard its probably a belt, but I can assure you its not a bunch of birds stuck under my hood.

Whats the best way to find out which belt it is?

Well, unless your car is a DX, you have two belts that you're able to see. The power steering belt, and the alternator belt, both of which are on the drivers side of the engine. More than likely the tension on one of these belts is slack or too tight, causing the chirping. Check to see if the belts are fully on the pulleys as well as the condition of them. Any rips, tear, scratches, etc. could indicate it's rubbing on something. Strange though, I would describe those belts as a high pitched squealing noise, not chirping. I hope the fix is as easy as playing with the tensioner for you, and not something more difficult.

be like "yo belt whys you bitchin all da time" then ask the other one, which ever one flinches, bust that sucka in the chops.. no. have you even popped the hood yet and checked???? seems like you havnt. Pop the hood, tug on the belts (WHILE THE CARS OFF) you should have a little play like 1/4 an inch. Yours might be loose or might be worn, they have this spray that is tacky you can spray on it and see if the problem goes away...... Go get dirty

I lol'd.......a lot!

ok thats what I told plus more, thanx for the input.

You could always replace the belts as well... they're most certainly old and worn. Even if it's not the cause of the problem, it's maintenance that needs to be done anyway.

Might also be the distributor. If it's making noise, or if there's reddish dust under the cap, replace it ASAP.
