Default can anyone help me identify what this noise is?

i hear the sound when im driving(more when idling) or lets say the car is off and i push down on the passenger fender i can also barely hear it.

but the sound is comming from the passenger side like around the top of the fender towards the battery area...it sound like theres a cricket making the annoying noise they make, this is teh only way i can think of describing it

i am pretty sure it is something loose causing that sound check every bolt and makesure it is tight, especially nuts that are linked to the suspenison.

ok the sound goes away when i open teh hood, when i close it it comes back, so i pushed down where the hood bolts up to teh frame and it went away, so it has something to do with where the hood bolts up to that little hook by 2 bolts, but i dont understand how its making that noise

On each side you will see rubber "holders" that hold the hood so it doesn't make any noises...



See that little black rubber BOLTS marked red? Well, turn them counterclockwise aprox. 1.5 turn and see if that helps...
