We will have to agree to disagree as you stated then. Considering NVH is a major component in car design these days, I would definitely consider the chirping a failure. It has not been proven to cause any issues thus far, but it is still a failure in my mind because of the added NVH that shouldn't be there. It's not like the STi where Subaru didn't put any sound deadening in the cabin and put disclaimers on their brochures when it was released. This chirping is not an intended design feature.
