Chirping sound? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys so bit of a back story here, the AC compressor, pulley, belt and radiator were just placed in my car then I drove 300 miles to the beach and the car started to make this chirping sound very loudly. I was obviously concerned and worried about not being able to get home but asked around and with the car driving completely normal drove back home without a problem. When I got home I took it back to the shop that did the work on the compressor and they spent a day trying to find the sound and fix it but they couldn’t so they’re sending it to another shop to try to figure out the problem. I’m thinking it could be a lifter but both shops are telling me it’s not, any thoughts?

That sounds pretty much like the AC belt, if you look at the belt lettering as it goes around and listen to the chirp, they seem to go in time with each other. Just my thoughts. I think if it was a lifter, you would have a very poorly running engine.
