Unhappy Squeeling/Clicking in Drive :(

I have a 96 Ranger Splash (4x2, 3.0L Auto). It's making a funny squeeling/clicking noise when I shift into drive (or any of the forward gears).

It soudns like it is coming from the front half of the truck, but I can't just get outside to take a listen since I don't want my truckl to drive away.

It does not apear to change in frequency with the engine speed... seems constant

Park, Reverse, and Neutral are not affected. It is most noticable when I'm idling, but I think that this is only because there is less wind/engine noise to drown it out.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advise?

Thanks

Talking Fixed

Well turns out that the noise was a loose heat sheild around the catalytic converter. it's all tightened up now and the noise stopped right away.
