Help!

I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear turbo with 55,000 miles. In the past 3 months it has started "chirping" for about 30 seconds when I back out of the garage in the morning with the a/c on. It does not chirp for the rest of the day, unless the car sits for at least 4 hours. It also ONLY makes this noise when I have the a/c on and put the car in reverse. If I leave it over night and put it in drive (or put in drive after it sits for a few hours) with the a/c on it does not make this noise. At first I was thinking it was the belt, so I just had that rpelaced and it still makes the noise.

Have you ever encountered a problem like this and any thoughts on what it could be?

Thanks for your help!
