[QUOTE="J. Olenko, post: 921443, member: 68163"] My '02 ST periodically has that typical cricket, chirp type noise under the hood on the passenger side. Since the source of that sound can be elusive, I decided to replace the alternator, idler pulley, and belt tensioner. I thought it was fixed. Now the noise is back. (I am not even really sure if it went away in the first place now.) The noise is generally there under acceleration and it does come and go, sometimes to the point of being totally gone. What is left to check? Could it be something under the valve cover? Some people have mentioned to replace the belt to me but I fail to see how this can be since the noise appears to be metal/mechanical in nature. When replacing the parts, I did check the belt and it appeared to be fine, but I could be wrong. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
