... on the 1997 SSE, there is a birdy at idle.
It takes a few minutes after start-up to warm up, but gets quite notable in the cabin after a few minutes... have to turn the radio well up
Apparent suspects are the usual belt-driven accessories on the right side.
My local mechanic was adamant that it was the idler wheel. But replacing it solved nothing.
The Birdy goes away under any engine torque. Even in neutral, it will go away when engine is revved up above idle.
But at idle, or coasting up to a light, etc... it returns.
Nothing seems to be destroying itself, as it has been a year or two.... it probably is not getting any worse, just more annoying as I get older.
Was hoping that perhaps somebody has had something similar....
