My truck has made this noise since day 1. It has not worsened or caused any issue in the 3 years I have owned the truck. The noise has been brought up before and is very very common. I don't remember if anyone has ever 100% confirmed what makes the noise. I assumed it's either the oil pump or the vacuum asist pump for the brakes.

I am really wondering if it doenst have something to do with the multiple displacement oil pump they are running now. You can kind of hear the noise change when it shifts into 2nd and really starts to take off.

Reviving an old thread. My 2018 makes this same noise. I took it to the dealer last week. They pulled the drive belts off and checked all the pulleys and said they were all smooth and felt good. I would love to know what it is. Dealer said there is nothing wrong, but they could hear it too.

I had the same issue. An annoying faint whine between 1500 rpms when accelerating sounds like it’s coming from behind the gauge cluster. 
 

Change the automatic volume setting. When I set mine to Med-high I haven’t had the issue since

Anyone have a different outcome with this?  Mine started recently (49k miles on the truck) and I want to get to the bottom of it if possible.

I drive a 2018 Chev Silverado 6.2L, also I have the same whining noise. My dealer told me it was the air pump and the noise was normal. The noise is there on idle and also when the engine is revved it gets louder.

sounds like converter or transmission pump failure, what ever you do don't do any wide open throttle flogs, the trans will die fast.. my 2012 Sierra does this and its pre failure noises. if your smart youll rebuild the trans or sell the truck before the repair cost go up

. We have a 2018 Silverado 2500 HD diesel truck with 99,000 miles on it. All maintenance, fluids, def have been all checked, refilled and coolant container replaced, The truck started making a “whining” sound that has never been heard before. It happens when acceleration into 2-5 speeds and continues while engine is on. We took it in and the computer did not find anything wrong with it. My question to anybody is can the computer be wrong? Is there something else we could have checked? The shop had nothing else to offer us. Reading these questions tells me that there is something else wrong. Help please. We just spent 2000$ so far on this issue with the noise still the same. The shop even heard the noise. What else can we do? Thank you

      On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
