Weird chirping sound

Be careful how you grip!

Ok, my guitar is chirping way too much and it is really annoying cause I have to scoop the mids to get rid of the chirp on every single pick attack! I've got the guitar with steel strings installed, could they cause the trouble? Since steel offers more resistance than nickel, could that be the cause for chirp?
 
Check your picking technique (make sure your nail isn't scraping the strings, pick isn't hitting at a stupid angle, etc) and what sort of pick you use. The kind of strings can have a bit of an affect I suppose but whatever you have are probably fine, it's more likely technique
 
Forgot to mention, I use straight pick technique, not angled, and it only chirps on this particular guitar, never chirped on the Jackson I played back in time. My technique hasn't changed, is all I am saying, it still chirps a lot. However, Jackson was strung with nickels, actually had worse pickups and I play with the same type of a pick
