Chirping sounds from '93 965

MAKE SURE that it is not coming from under the hood! It sould be a component of the serpentine belt which would be no big deal, but it MIGHT be the timing belt or a related component (like a water pump), failkure of any of those compinents could mean the destruction of the motor.

WHat isthe frequency of the sound when it hapens (how many squeaks per second)?

I'll bet anything that it's your driver's seat. My 760 was doing this too and tracking down the cause was driving me crazy! It maybe doesn't do it for your wife because she has the seat in a different position. Mine's all the way back and a seatbelt buckle component gets pinched against the plastic centre-console and, when the seat shifts due to cornering/breaking/accelleration it gives a little chirp.

The chirp is loud because it's right next to you. It happens at seemingly random intervals because it is not relate to the mechanics of the car but to the forces of momentum exerted on you while you drive. Crank the seat as far forwards as you can stand and adjust the angle and drive around for a few KMs and see if it goes away.

Annoying yes. Dangerous no.

We get similar sounds when the back seat is folded down and the back of the driver's seat rubs against it. Could also be a seat belt buckle against the leather or maybe aganst the center console. It would seem that these would be more easily dignosed then a sound from under the car or the hood.

I'd look at the tailgate: try adjusting the lock and/or the stops in de sides
