Ford Focus Zetec S - chirping sound

Featured Replies

Hello everyone, its my first post and I've just joined, I've bought a 2016 1.0 ecoboost zetec S which comes with a cruise control absolutely love the car but I have two growing concerns which I hope someone can help me with. 

1. When I accelerate I hear a chirping sound all the way until it comes down to 0, its very mild but little bit annoying, its almost like birds/crickets chirping noise, a few people have said its normal and noting major but I just want to know from other owners. 

2. When I drive on dual carriage ways I  can a hear a whistling sound coming in waves from the front, I've had all 4 new tyres, all new brake pads but still no difference, it comes in waves, ive also had wheel barring checked and was told its fine. The car has only done 30,000 mileage.

Any advice would really help.
