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

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
