My heater chirps like a bird

Providing a sound file helps to eliminate most of the guessing.:rockon:

The sound is from either a bad bearing or debris rubbing against the fan.

If it's a bearing, the sound will change, possibly disappearing, when the ambient temperature rises.

If it's debris, with the A/C on non-recirculate, the noise will vary with road speed.
