for the love of god.. MAKE IT STOP!
My car's exhaust sound is a deep, loving, beautiful sound. It resonates sweetly through the neighborhood block.
But sometimes, and about HALF the time, you can hear a GOD FORSAKEN "chirp, chirp chiiiiiirrpppp" from underneath the middle part of the car!
Today I turned my motor on and laid, side of my face to the ground, looking at the underbelly of the FD's midsection.
"where the hell are you, you son of a bitch? Where's that noise that humiliates me when the turbo timer keeps you going, baby baby?"
"Chirp, chirp chirpy chirp chirp!!!" my car replied.
GOD DAMNIT.
Rotary performance told me it could be the hood latch. They greased it and I WD-40'd it. It isn't the damn hood latch. This chirping, bird-like noise is a plague to my happiness. I cannot drive comfortably with it.
Help me.

Try spraying the bolts in the middle of your pulleys with WD40 and see if it goes away. If it does it when you sitting still its prob not the hood latch. If sounds like something that would be moving eventhough you sitting still. I had a pully that was chirping and it sounded like it was mid car, I sprayed it with WD40 and it was cured.
If it is a pully it would need grease or it might be over tightened

The rubber hood stops on either sides of the engine bay can make a chirping noise when they rub the hood. Grease these instead of the latch. This solved the problem for me.

my car chirps too now. It didn't do it till I got the engine wet, turns out it is the tensioner pulley, everytime I put WD40 it stops and every once in a while it comes back. I'm gonna replace it and see if it stops for good (or at least a couple of months)
I think I may have gotten one of those special FDs too, the ones that always have some annoying little vibration or squeak, I fix one another pops up. one of them was a squeaking belt. I looked at the belt, and it was old and cracked and said Mitsubishi. replaced it, car is quiet. just try replacing or tensing the belts and spraying WD-40.

don't mess with anything under the hood. Get off your lazy *** and jack up the car.. why throw needless money at things that aren't your problem. $10 says its what EVERYONE already told you it was. Grab the cat ***when cold*** or tap it with a screw driver. bet ya its loose.............. pry the sheild off if its loose or put a clamp around the whole cat like someone suggested.
