Citroen C5 (X7) strange chirring noise at passenger side

[GiveMeABreak]

Right, that definitely sounds like it's coming from the inside and because it only happens when the car is moving, it has to be something loose.

So I would start looking at anything metallic or on a roller and try eliminating things one by one.

Suggestions:
Check the sun visors - move them up and down to see if the arms squeak.
Move the car seats forward or back a bit and see if it still does it.
Open the windows a little and then see
Check the boot area for loose items and anything in the doors or glovebox
Do you have anything like a phone holder or other gadget attached to anything

Just a few ideas - might be off beat but it has to be something that's moving about and I'm almost 90% sure it's int he cabin somewhere.

Yes, all of the above mentioned has been checked first time. Unfortunately none of them.

The noise is coming from this area (at least I guess)

I already think it coming not from the cabin but definitely near to it.

What else can it be? Some part of the suspension?

Thanks

Bit late to this thread but just as a guess, is the key on its own or do you have anything else on the key ring.
If you have house keys etc on it then they will sway with the motion of the car and will produce a noise that is hard to pin point

PROBLEM SOLVED

I am not sure the name of this part of the suspension but it is sure the "top strout mount" causes this sound. To test, I sprayed with WD40 and the noise has been disappeared. So this part I need to change.

Thanks for everyone the helpful comments!

I was going to suggest an engine mount next, but glad you have nailed it down - that would make sense it being a suspension strut mount as it is very near the area you indicated.

4 is the strut bracket (part 5038E6) for reference.

Good morning,
I have the exact same squeak and it is driving me crazy, up to the point where I am very close to getting
rid of the car even though I love it. The other half keeps telling me to turn the radio up but sometimes I
like to just drive in silence.
Any chance you could take a photo of where you sprayed the WD40.
Thanks,
Gav.

Drowned both side strut tops in WD40 this lunch time and took it for a 10 minute drive.
The noise seems to be gone! How long for is the next question, but at least I know where
it is coming from!
