Strange noise from car

jozi

I noticed there's a strange noise coming from the car, it think its from the engine.
It sound a bit like a tjirp or something (if that makes sense) and you only hear it a 2000rpm under acceleration, not in neutral.
Any one have any clue as to what it may be?
Thanks,

What type of car, and what year ?

Could be many things, clutch release bearing, engine mount, exhaust, subframe bushing !

In what gear(s), all, one or none?.

Any change it is simple "pinging" from being in too high a ger and too low on the revs?.

All gears. Once you have the engine workking hard it makes a kind of tjirping sound at exactlly 2000rpm.
Cars dont have a clutch bell do they like my remote control car? It reminded me of that olny the sound from the car is different.
Sounds like its coming from the front to

Don't know, it could be anything. only other thing I can think of is perhaps a head sheild is vibrating on the exhaust, they tend to resonate and particular frequencies.
