What could be causing the chirping sound under the hood?
If you notice a chirping sound coming from under the hood, it could indicate a possible belt problem or belt tension problem. But there are a number of pulleys and other various parts under your hood that could also make a similar noise, such as the water pump or alternator. These need to be checked to make sure that no breakdown has occurred. Any one of these problems—if not addressed promptly—could result in your vehicle needing to be towed to a repair facility. Therefore we recommend having the problem checked out by a certified technician as soon as possible.
