For a different possibility... We've seen/heard a chirping from hub axle seals. Some hubs (mostly moderate cost ones) have a slip on "rubber" seal on the LH side of the hub. These seals can rub on the hub shell just so and emit a faint noise, more easily heard when pedaling as the ratchet sounds can overwhelm the seal chirp. A small drop of oil between the seal and hub shell fixes this. Andy.
