Chirping sound when turning left

Recently my car has been making a chirping sound when I first start driving it in the morning, but usually only when I am making a left turn or bending slightly left around a curve. When I finish the turn or bend and go straight again, it stops. It doesn't do this when I turn or bend right, and the noise stops after I have been driving for 5-10 minutes. Once it made a louder chirping sound when I was just going straight, increasing when I accelerated, but it hasn't done that again since.

Hello,

It sounds like a CV axle or wheel bearing hub is going out. to be sure can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Here are guides to help you see what will need to be done if one or the other step by step:

Thanks for the reply. I brought it into the place I bought it from, as it is still under a parts-and-labor warranty. There was also an occasional screeching noise from one of the belts, and when I start the car, it accelerates to about 3000 RPM's while still in park, then again when I am driving it. Sometimes I have to fight the acceleration with the brake to come to a complete stop. The car place said they replaced the alternator, which hasn't affected the chirping noise or the acceleration, but I haven't heard the screeching again since. When he was looking at the engine, the mechanic pushed on one of the hoses, which recreated the chirping noise. Attached is a video of the chirping noise when I turn or bend left.

Thanks for the video. It sounds like the noise is not coming from the engine? It sounds like there is something rubbing inside like a dash mount. Can you confirm the noise is not coming from the engine?
