There is a chirping noise coming from the front of my vehicle when the engine is running. However, it doesn't make the noise all the time. The noise is becoming more consistent. What do you think it could be?

Hi,

That type of a sound is usually from the serpentine belt. Try this to see if the sound changes. With the engine running, pour a small amount of water on the drive belt (serpentine belt) and see if the sound chances. If it does, then we know the belt is the issue.

Do that and let me know what you find. Also, here is a link that explains what to look for.

Let me know and I can then explain what to do.
