What is causing cricket chirping noise? 06
In my 06 I have noticed a cricket chirping sound coming from the left of the dash. This happens with or without my AC fans going so it doesn't seem to be the cause. It seems like it happens when I hit bumps as I drive. I cannot make it happen by revving the engine at a stand still. Happens no matter the speed I am driving.
Any ideas on what this could be?

LOL, beat me to it.
Are you sure the noise is from the front and not that you are hearing the squeaking of our notoriously lousy rear suspension arms ?
Try this, generously spray silicone lube or WD 40 on all of the bushings and bolts on the rear suspension arms and antisway bar. Let the car sit overnight and see how it is on the next drive.

Mine does this every now and then too. Ive gotten to where I just ignore it or just turn up the radio. But I know what you are talking about. Ive tried to locate the source of the chirping and I cant find it either. When it was driving me crazy it did it at stand still, and while driving. Gave up on it after a while. I'll pay attention on my lunch break and see if it still does it.

I decided to try and isolate the noise more on my lunch, nadda. I opened the windows up to hear if I could hear the sound from the outside and didn't. Smooth road, nice and quiet. It definitely happens with bumps and it's driving me nuts.

I have the same problem. I saved a couple of threads about this a few months ago on my laptop. I'll post the links tonight when I get home. If you have ever removed your gauge cluster, it can be the wires chirping making contact with something. I haven't gotten around to fixing mine either. The volume button on my radio has been the temporary solution.

There are multiple possible problems based on this thread. Even though this is an Evo thread, I still think our situation is the same.
My guess for an answer to your/my problem would be post #104

Got the same issue. These lancers are annyoing. I got some kind of chirping coming from the dash someplace, another rattle from the left side of the guage cluster, and yet another rattle from the center console somewheres. It's driving me nuts.
