Is this a normal sound

i dont know about chirping, ive never heard of that. if its more of a whining sound (like a quite supercharger) then its the transmission (the all do that), but if it does it at idle. you got a problem in my opinion

yeah, I don't think it's normal but I wanted to check. It's basically the same sound that a pulley makes when the belt is squeaky. You know, back when you would take some WD-40 and spray the belts and the noise would go away until the next time it rained. It even sounds like it might be coming from the front of the engine but it's hard to tell. I guess I'll see what Nissan has to say tomorrow when i drop by and have the service guy listen to it.
