My '05 Liberty makes a strange noise.

[swisely65]

It's been making a noise for a while now. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything. It's just annoying. The best way I can describe it is it sounds like chirping. The noise seems to be coming from the front end, possibly even from the steering column. I hear it when driving slow. It's so strange because it's not a noise I can reproduce by driving a certain way. It just happens when it happens. Any clue to what it could be?

Belt and/pulley?

Or maybe the brakes are squeaking; pads worn down to the scraper, pads moving around on the caliper bracket, or a buildup of rust. Does it stop when you hit the brake pedal?
Also check to make sure no birds made a nest on top of your engine!

When it comes to weird noises the CV joint on the transfer case end of the front drive shaft has no equal. That thing makes as many sounds as a classical orchestra :anitoof:

That's where I'd look first - my 2 cents :favorites13:

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe it was my water pump going, but it ended up being my ac compressor was about to give out.

i had a chirping noise on mine aswell, turned out to be the bearing in the idle pully next to the belt tensioner

I throw another vote in for belt and/ or idle pulley.
