Default Cricket Sound ?

My 2003 AE Coupe has a noise that appears to be coming from the drivers side dash area. It sounds like a cricket an only happens when the car is moving. I do not hear it when the car is running and sitting still. Any guesses? I can assure you it is not a cricket!

Check your top, Mine did that and I had to tighten it up a bit.

Does the chirping get louder and increase in frequency as the speed increases or does it just level off?

At what point does the sound start - at what MPH?

Is it at a constant interval or does it vary (like something is loose)?

It starts when the car starts to roll. It is at a consistent rythem and does not get louder. My passenger can not hear it. But you know how tuned in you get to your vette. Thanks

Just noticed mine doing this yesterday. I thought it was the music at first.
