Try to get a video. When running? All the time? Could be a belt

Reading this has suddenly made me realise, iv had my xsi about a year and a half now, its always had some squeaky noise coming from the engine which i presume was the alternator or some other belt. iv just realised it gone by itself.... erm... lol.
when you say cricket noise do you mean a squeaking noise or a tapping noise?

My squeak was caused by the engine mounts.

I think you have gathered its the noise you get when you press the recirculation button.
