Choraltech is right on the money. I just bought an A6 that my daughter has named The Cricket because of the AC/Heater blower motor. I plan to replace the assembly because it is unpredictable and can make the noise at any fan speed or even start and stop when going over bumps in the road.

I have the same problem with my 99 A6, but it seems to be most noticeable on right turns for whatever reason. Would a problem with the heater blower affect a chirping only to the right? I don't see the correlation, but I guess it could be an imbalance and so when I make a right turn or hit a speed bump it could slightly set it off. Also, if it is the heater blower, is it easy to replace on my own?

Very easy to replace. You can get the part for ~$200 on-line.
5 bolts to drop the glove box panel (2 down low and 3 at the top when you open the glove box). Then it's another 3 bolts and a connector to get the blower out.
It chirps when you turn due to the gyroscopic effect - the blower axis resists changing direction. Give it a chance, it will start to chirp more and more!
