Could you describe the noise a little better? Sounds like it could be one of your pulley bearings going out. Most likely a tensioner/idler or altenator.

slw, he said he pulled the Belts, that'd eliminate the pulleys and all, but, if I had to guess, I'd say a "dry" Rocker Arm, Oil Seal, maybe even a Motor Mount that's loose ??

Missed that part.

Still hard to say without hearing it.

Does the "chirp" follow rpm? Or moving, not moving? You really need to pinpoint it closer.
