Bird under the hood?

Hello all. At about the 3000 mile mark on my truck (04 FX4/5.4) a slight noise started. Sounded like a bird under the hood. I thought it just to be belt noise and was not too worried about it. Now at 5000 miles seems to be getting a little louder. Not associated with the A/C, does it with it on or off. Is affected by RPM as the "bird" chirps faster. Anyone else notice this? Just a little annoying. Thanks, Glenn

This was a symptom of the tensioner pulley on older Fords. Have not experienced yet on my newer Ford. Pull the belt and spin the tensioner pulley by hand. You will hear and feel the bearing.
