Cricket noise when stopped??

My cars making a weird cricket noise when stopped. I have noticed it since i've gotten the car which has its noises like most other older fbods. I am now concentrating on cleaning up the noises. I ran into a ditch and ended up having to change some suspension parts which apparentally were squeeking since it made a huge difference. I have one squeek in my dash which i have no clue at all but it is minor and only over bumps.

I also have a strange noise coming from the rear of my car and i can only hear it when stopped. I think it may have something to do with my exhaust vibrating. It is a very high pitched vibration noise. I have corsa exhaust and i was wondering if there was anything i could do to quiet it down at least a little bit. Haven't really looked how its mounted but could that bring up a problem?

Injectors, possibly? They're loud on LT1s.

It could be but it seems to be coming from the rear of the car, are there any mounts for the exhaust or engine that wear out and could be causing this, it sounds like something is vibrating along with the engine in back.

The cricket noise sounds like the belt, or maybe a pulley of some kind.

Is it coming from the engine area?
