There is a quiet chirp that is coming from the engine. When I am driving it sounds like it's coming from very far left. It sounds like a fan or belt but so far I've only noticed it when I'm idling. It was also raining today, if that makes a difference.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Hi Hannah. Does it only do it when raining? It could be the belt got wet. Also, let me know if it is a 2.0L or 2.3L engine so I can look at belt routing.



Let me know.
