Cricket chirping sound coming from front side wheel well?

Hey guys,

I know I've read about people having this sound too. It is usually at 30+ mph. Every slight bump or graduation on the road, it chirps like a cricket. It is getting very very annoying. Any ideas? I think it might be a upper strut mount. The noise comes from the front drivers side wheel well. Please help.

It could also be that your brake pads are getting low.

Definitely the upper strut mount - thirty-something dollars for the part.
