Weird bird chirping sound getting more noticeable lately, anyone else got it?

What happens is this, I pull into my apt complex late, windows down, no radio and as the car gets down to about 3/5 mph when I am parking, or driving really slow, I hear what sounds like 10-15 canaries chirping softly from under my car, also I hear it more so when the A/C is on, or right as you turn the engine off the same sound can be audible as the engine shuts off.

I have determined its not the pilot baring usually a similar sound, because I can apply the clutch all the way and the sound is still present. If I put the parking brake on, and act like I'm gonna stall the car, I hear the chirping. I am thinking my stock exhaust piping or my motor mounts need tightening or lube or something? but it's starting to get really annoying, it makes my car sound like a 15 year-old Buick:(

You have a defective auto tensioner. Take it to the dealer to get it replace.

Are you serious? I've had that bird chirping sound since almost day one. Got 18k miles and it still does it. You think it's a problem?
