I know it's been discussed here, But I forget. When the engine chirps at shut off is it the belt or alternator? Thanks:)

the belt makes the chirp but you need a clutched alt to fix the problem

Is it going to hurt anything by not "fixing" the noise. Or is it just an annoyance?

doesnt hurt anything my neighbors dodge has done it since 1999 no problems. the hi compression of a diesel engine stops moving quicker than the alt so the belt makes a squeak on the alt pully thats it.
