I have a loud chirping noise just when I am completely stopped at a stoplight or stop sign. It goes away once I apply the gas. I replaced the front brakes in July so I do not think it is a brake issue. The weather has gotten colder this week though. What could this noise be coming from?

Most likely it is the drive belt for the accessories. If it is the original it is due for replacement. Check the tension-er as well, they get weak over time and the belt can get loose enough to slip and chirp.
