Default wierd chirping sound

My 95 accord ex sedan just started making this noise that sounds a continuous bird chirping. Someone told me that it could be the belts. Its just really annoying and embarrasing having to drive around with that noise if you know what I mean.

Do you have a question or are you just making a point that it's anoying?

If you are asking a question could you be more specific about what part of your car the the noise is coming from. Is it coming from under the hood, front or rear wheels.....

Did you check your belts yet?

ok dude you need to give more info, is it an AUTO trans or a MANUAL???
If it is an MANUAL i would ask when does it make this "chirping" noise on or off the clutch??? could be clutch or throw-out bearing, and if its a AUTO then i would say check your own damn belts before you post a question and it could be other things to do some research on you own at least a little bit before you tell us how annoyed you are with a chirping sound (no info at all+++)( take this )

If it chirps even while your not moving you should replace your accessory belts and while your at it get that wheel bearing replaced before your rear wheel falls off and you hurt someone

like they said change the belts ... or if the belts arent that old and dont want to replace them just yet ... buy some belt quiet or whatever its called and spray them down ... its worth the shot ... sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt ...

Change the accessory belt tensions. Maybe too tight, or too loose.

If you just want to test it befor you buy some "belt spray" what a couple of my buddys do is put some dish soap on their belts to get them to stop sqeaking. Its a "LITTLE" (ALOT) GHETTO, but it works

also a bar of ivory or dail or w/e you household shower soap is you can put in the belt. just hold the bar next the the side of the belt or under it if possible. your belt might be glazed causeing this noise ( when your belts were put in they might have been tightened to tight).
