The speedo cable also makes a chirping noise.  Noises are hard to
pin down location-wise, but left front might make sense.  Watch the
needle when driving.  Usually it bounces ever so slightly if its rubbing.
My previous car's cable squeaked, but only when it was cold out, and
then it stopped once everything warmed up.

Suggestions for how to lube the cable will fill up a whole new topic.  : )
