Q: Car has chirping sound possibly from the belt

asked by on August 12, 2016

I purchased my car used. There has been a loud chirping noise for the past week. At first, I thought it might be the belt that needed replacing, so I went to the dealership. They said they couldn’t hear any chirping. I had washed my car the day before seeing them. They told me that washing it cleaned the belts and got rid of the noise. They looked at me as if I were wasting their time. Today… the chirping is back and fairly loud. I’m concerned that if I take it back they won’t hear it and think I’m an idiot. Can you please tell me what could be causing this? Thanks.
