Or after searching the threads maybe the tech didn't snug down one of the spark plugs when he replaced them. Could any of this ( Original Post ) loss of power at higher RPM's and Chirping be related?
Yes.
Failing AOS, loose spark plug, and badly worn chain tensioners have been known to make a chirping sound. Your car is a possible candidate for all three.
