Yes the dist can make chirping noise when the bearing starts going bad, when they are really bad they will SCREECH.
You might get some tubing to use as a "poor boy stethoscope" and listen right at the base of the dist where it attaches to the head.
Another common sign of the bearings going bad is a red metal dust inside the dist cap.
This is a problem that can leave you stranded, if let go too long.
