Chirping sound at low RPM - what could it be?
« on: Today at 06:14:05 pm »
Hi all,

I'm getting a bird chirping sound when I accelerate very slowly up to 2k rpm. It sounds like it's coming from the right hand side of the car when in the cabin.
It only happens when I have my foot on the accelerator pedal, as soon as I let go, it stops. Doesn't happen if it's just rolling.

The sound is a lot more consistent when turning sharply.
I've jacked the front of the car up and tried driving, but no sound. So it seems like it only happens under load.

I've replaced both lower control arms, alternator belt and the dog bone mount but the sound is still there.
Could it possibly be the tensioner/pulley?
