While it can be obnoxious for some owners with an 86, this chirping noise, amoung others, is the future as more and more cars go DI. I've been around other manufacturers cars that now sound almost like a "gasoline diesel" , while many others just have an audible "TICKTICKTICKTICK" as the car idles. Some cars hide it better based on price/purpose in life: keep in mind that the 86 wasn't designed to be some ultra quite car, it's to be fun to throw around, miles of smiles, and some track time tossed in.
In the end I'm fine with it, and even more-so when the alternative is to let the dealer perform surgery on my car because of a noise that doesn't mean anything.
