issue The Interior "Snap, Crackle, Pop" Thread

[Bobber]

i have the rock hitting the windshield noise too. it gets me every time. i look for the chip and realize its the same pop i hear a couple times a day every once in a while. very strange!!

Me too! Unfortunately, I also had one that actually was a stone on the windshield and now have a chip over on the pax side, center of glass.

I've had the stone hitting the windshield but haven't heard it for a long time and actually forgot about it until I read this post. I've also had the dash above the radio and the dash panel under the steering wheel.

 

The steering wheel panel has been driving me nuts and it by far the worst (#4). It sounds like a 1/2 full container of tic tacs rattling. I took the panel off and the metal panel was loose so I put O rings over each of the plastic studs to help tighten up the metal panel. When I went to reinstall the the plastic panel on the truck I thought I should check the 4, 7mm screws that are holding the dash under that panel and I could turn them by hand! It took about 3 to 4 turns of my ratchet to get them to even snug up. I'm thinking I was hearing the washers on the screws rattling. Wonder what else they forgot to tighten? Or with how hard my ride is did they loosen up? It took about 10,500 miles before I heard it so I'm thinking they latter.

How long does the warranty cover fixing these rattles? Not for the whole 3/36 is it?

Anyone heard a strange high pitched electrical noise when using 4WD Auto, Hi or Lo?

 

I started using 4WD since we got some snow and this noise is just brutal. Sounds like a misquito in my ears! If I use 4WD auto the sound pulsates and gets even more annoying.

 

The radio wont even drown it out, it's too high pitched. It kind of sounds like some of the tones they play in a hearing test LOL.

Mine does not do it (neither of the 14's I've had), others have complained about it on other threads.

Mosquito buzzing sound?

Has anyone found out what the Rock Hitting the Windshield noise is that everyone is reporting?

 

I have read no resolution.

I have the stone hitting the windshield sound, seems to be a temperature differential between cab/outside... Don't know if there will ever be a fix for that. I usually only get it when the truck is still warming up in the cab.

 

I have rattles and shakes and noises coming from both driver and passenger doors, sounds like a bottle banging around in the cup holder almost.

MINE SOUNDS LIKE A PAINT CAN IN A CLOTHES DRYER. GM SHOULD MAKE EAR PLUGS AND A FLOWMASTER 10 SERIES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT.

I thought this to, then once I started believing it was temperature related it started making the noise when the temperature didn't matter. Mine only does it in motion and on a 400 mile trip can happen any time. There are times that it happens that it is obvious that it is stress from the truck, for instance taking a corner fast.

 

The other day it was doing it regularly. I beat the dash a bit and it stopped. I think it is stress in the way the dash fastens together.

Just had the headliner rattle fixed at my local GMC dealer. They installed insulated clips per a GM document number. Rattle there is now totally fixed. I still have the occasional pop sound from the windshield area but that's a lot more intermittent. Lastly there is a small rattle from the center console that I still need to get to the bottom of.

 

Having the headliner with the sunroof rattle gone was the biggest possible upgrade of the three though!

God, this is starting to depress the hell out of me, since I registered I have done nothing but read every single post in this Section of the forum and everyday it just gets worse and worse. Just find it unacceptable all these issues, I had extremely high expectations for this truck as it was going to be my next.

I too have the "stone hitting the windshield" cracking sound when I drive down the freeway. I've had my 14 Sierra All Terrain for a little over a month now and have about 2000 miles on it. I started hearing the sound within the first week of ownership and like everybody else I thought it was a rock hitting the windshield. It's a little dissappointing that it's happening, but my biggest gripe with the truck is the throttle response, man is it slow... I end up flooring it all the time just to get it moving!

Until your first dealer visit when the tech says "Cannot duplicate" and the service manager says: "NORMAL"!

My 6.2 jumps right out there.

 

I found when I start hearing the "stone hitting the windshield" sound often, If I beat on the dash it seems to stop.

 

Maybe it is a coincidence, I do not know.
