As the subject suggests, I have a strange intermittent "chirping" sound coming from the front passenger side while rolling. Seems like it gets faster the faster I roll... Have no clue what this could be as it does not happen when stopped so I can take a look. Any clues?

It sounds like it may be your brakes....try applying the brake slightly after you begin roll from a stop. See if the noise gets louder, goes away or stays the same. With this check you will help eliminate some variables.

Nope, tried that Aussie... Tried to figure if its the trans too by seeing if the noise goes away by shifting to neutral, no luck. Maybe a pulley or belt?

Well since you've ruled out bird's nest, how about CV joints?
Try a little steering movement to see if that affects chirping although at this point I'm not sure you can rule out wheel bearing.

I've got the same chirping on my '99 SVT. Stepping on the brakes or turning the wheel slightly to the left makes it go away. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Had this same symptom on an old taurus ('92). Turned out to be worn out pads and a frozen caliper pin that kept the pads from baking off fully. Not sure this is likely on your newer vehicles. Point is check the pads for anything irregular. EDIT: oops sorry missed the post above about the brakes
