New head gaskets! New Noises!

New head gaskets! New Noises!
So I picked up the Disco today with its new head gaskets. My $1,000 quote became a $1,800 job. That included a new water pump. So if it fixed it, well, okay.
My new noise seems to come from the fan when it is kicking in and running. Is this bad--can it be silenced, or is this just "character"?

I am am worried about the chirping cricket like noise that it makes. Is that what it is supposed to sound like? Before the Head Gaskets it did this a little. I haven't been running hot even before the gasket job--that was meant to be fix the leak. While I had a leak--it was small and I did not want to wait to find a bigger leak. Is the fan noise indicating that this thing is failing? Does the viscous clutch just sound like this normally?

As the bi-metal spring on the fan clutch lock up and then releases it will make noise, it should not be noticeable, but I suppose if you have good hearing and your engine is really quiet you can hear it.
Here is some info for you.
