8th gen civic EX/ noise from engine bay
Hey everyone!
I could really use your advice! Back in November, I got myself a 2008 Civic EX. At the time, the weather was pretty warm, so I didn’t notice anything unusual.
Now that it’s colder, I’ve started to experience some odd sounds when I first turn on the car. After letting it idle for about 5-10 minutes, I hear a ticking noise followed by a high-pitched electrical sound coming from the engine bay. What's strange is that the high-pitched noise sticks around even when I shift gears or press the gas pedal.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insights? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

Probably something to do with the belt drive, pop the hood and start looking/listening
