Actually funny you mention - there is a weird chirping noise coming from my car about 10 seconds into idling it from start-up. I wonder if it can be my alternator... But I always thought it was just its bearing and didnt pay much attention to it trying to sort out the bigger issues there... It always comes on not right away, but a little while after I start it. Yesterday I think it was quiet for the most part while it was cold, but then after warming up it got loud as before. You can definitely hear this thing from the outside, but only vaguely from the inside. Thanks for all the hints! Artem |
