It's 90% chance it's your harmonic balancer.

Belts, pulleys, HB...
Can you post a video? Check for HB wobble while idling. Good place to start.
P.S. how old and what brand are the belts, and how many miles on the car?

Spray a little water on the main belt while the car is running. If it stops then it's related to that belt.
Does it only chirp on startup or after it warms up too?

Pull your belts off 1 at a time and see if if the noise stops. It could be any of these

Did you replace the battery on the key FOB?
If so, the old ones with the passive entry feature default to ON even if the switch is in the OFF position after removing the battery.
Switch it ON and then back OFF and see if that stops it.
