ticking / whining noise
Well it started when i turned down the radio a few weeks ago, it sounds kinda like a belt whine, but i checked the belts and they are in good shape, and nice and snug.
A few days later, I hear a ticking noise, after hearing the term piston slap, it makes me kinda worried, its likea nice firm ticking noise coming from the engine. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?
I bought the car last month (oct. 15th) from rockenbach chevy in grayslake illinois... I have an extended general motors warr. on the car. Its a 2000 FRC.
Any help is much appeciated.

Piston Slap is more of a hammering sound than a ticking. It clears up after a few minutes (unless it a real bad case).
Ticking could also be a leaking header, or a valve noise.
