My problem has been what Steve is describing. The heat shield is bent in some way. A little agresivity, bending and hitting makes the problem go away. (This doesn't sound like Mercedes, does it!?)

It makes perfect sense. Mine happens when the car is stone cold. It chirps, then goes away. Thermal expansion on the shield, because it is so thin compared to the rest of the car, causes it to expand enough to move away from whatever it is rubbing against.
