Chirp on acceleration

I have a 2001 manual 996 and recently drove a 1400 mile trip. The day after the trip I noticed a chirp when I accelerate or place load on the engine. I replaced the poly belt given the car has 70k miles think that may be this issue, but still have the problem. Sound appears to come from the passenger side of the engine. Turning the AC on/off has no impact. all pulleys moved freely and did not feel loose during the belt. Greatly appreciate any insight.

Its was a nice day in the Philly area, therefore, I decided to check the plugs. Loren nailed it! The plug in cylinder 5 needed a little torque. Never would have thought a spark plug could cause chirp. Thanks again Loren!

Jason, nothing like a little chirp from the Michelin Pilot Super Sports!

Have a great rest of the weekend guys!
