At first it was just when I used the air conditioner. Even now when I start the car and give it gas to drive the noise is gone. When I am stopped and the car is running it sounds like a bird chirping again. What is making that noise? Can anyone help.

Have the engine’s drive belt(s) checked. Either adjusting the belt tension or replacing the belt(s) should resolve the problem.
