The tips on a stock muffler chirp!
Some Dual Carbs chirp. They are normal.

There are numerous reasons why your engine will make a chirping noise. Absent more information about exactly where the chirping is coming from, maybe even a decent quality video to demonstrate the issue, it's impossible to say one way or the other whether it's something to be concerned about or not.

I had one like that, the fan was not spaced right and rubbed on the fan shroud. Also check the clearance between the engine pulley and the tins around it. It's not very likely to be an internal issue.

The engine was running at idle then chirping started got louder and closer together engine started to run slower then quit. I have pulled engine out of the dune buggy and I can move engine with a pinch bar at the flywheel end a small amout at a time its not froze up but a bit tight. I'm going to pull it apart to inspect it inside hope it not to hurt wish me luck one locale person side it pinched a bearing

It is a quality control problem in the lubrication of camshaft under stem thrust surfaces afflicting the 1949 proptype enigne, the 1966 1300 cc, the subsequently the 1983, 2000, and 2017 water cooled engines.

It’s been bugging Vw engineers like a plague.

Vacuum leaks do have a chirp sound as well. Like right below the carb.

if it has a stock style muffler, remove the exhaust tips. if it goes away, your fine.

That is a completely different story from your first one!

Good luck with the tear down and tell us what you find.
