Squeaking in my car

whenever my car "jerks forward" when i accelerate i hear a squeaking or dinging or chirping i cant explain but its high pitched and quiet but after a while you become to notice it more - it doesn't get louder you just realize its there - and it gets annoying. it sounds like its coming in the front right area but thats the best i can identify.

nope. The only time you notice it is when the car "jerks" ex tapping the gas pedal to speed up. it lasts for a second and goes away.

if its clunking/rattling over bumps I'm 99% sure its strut mounts, if you don't replace them soon, it will make your car shake when braking, and you'll hear them creak while turning at low speeds

mine does it too but the squeaking is intermittent and figured it was a warped rotor
