Hi, so my car just recently started making a chirping noise. I do not know where it's coming from but it makes the noise from time to time, sometimes louder than others. I noticed that it makes the noise especially when I'm at a stop light stopped and when I proceed to drive, it makes the noise.
I've changed the spark plugs, camshaft, crankshaft, battery, and the tires are pretty new and my brakes are at about 45% left. But I do know that my engine mounts are messed up. Could this be it?

Does this chirping noise happen only when the car is moving? Or does it happen when the car is sitting still? If it happens when the car is sitting still and idling, then I would bet on one of the pulleys on the front of the engine going bad, or maybe something as simple as a old and worn out drive belt.

Here's a general guide that we've prepared for chirping noises: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/chirping-noise
