I'm not sure if I ever heard of the chirping noise linked to spark plugs. But I'm no mechanic. You would probably end up with a check engine light if it were really loose. Tightening the spark plugs is pretty staight forward. Tight area to work in but with a swivel socket and patience you can get the job done.

Hopefully others can chime in to help on what causes the chirping noise.

Actually, you will not get a CEl for a loose plug, just a lot of chirping or whistle noise....
