Mine never started the "chirping" it just chucked a belt, right after it started wobbling. Belts are cheap but when it went it destroyed the underhood liner.

Replaced mine 3 times before the car had 15k miles. Ended up pulling the crank and doing a stroker. Pinned the pulley so it wont be going anywhere... ever again. I suggest UD pulley and pin the sucker in place.
