2016 Silverado, when driving the truck and pressing the gas pedal I hear a faint high pitch noise that comes near the drivers side door either underneath or in the dash, hard to pinpoint. The sound goes away when I release the pedal as well. Anyone else experience it? Its annoying as sometimes the radio cant drown it out

Switch if from auto to 2WD and see if the noise goes away.

 

My 2014 developed the noise about after a year.

 

It can be a bit annoying.

 

Regardless they know about it and will not fix it.

Yes, I have the same problem on my new 2017 Siverado 1500. High pitched whine comes on at around 60 mph and gets worse the faster I go. At 75 mph its so loud it drowns out the radio. I have been to the Dealer about it. and getting the run around from the mechanics. And guess what the Service Advisor told me. He said, "Well, thats over the speed limit so you probably shouldn't be driving that fast anyway"! Wow....really? So, the new 2017 Chevy Silverado with a 5.3L V8 engine shouldn't be driven over 60 mph!

Ok...got that in quote! Wow, what a disappointment.

On another note, there is a posting in another forum, (2016 whining noise) from a guy that says the issue is in the transfer case. He got his replaced and it fixed the problem. I am pursuing that now, but its going to be a battle. If I can't get relief, I will just trade this thing off for another brand.

I have a 2WD 2018 GMC Yukon and have the same annoying noise between 60-80 MPH.  When I let off the gas pedal it goes away.  only 6,000 miles on it.

Anyone found a solution for this??? I have a 2016 and it only does it when in 4WD but it drives me absolutely insane! I may have dealer check as I can absolutely replicate it so it cant be denied, and the old "that's normal" aint going to cut it!

Ok My dealer has been trying to help me with this which I do appreciate. They did take it in and replaced the differential(ring and Pinion) and they said they verified that it had excessive run-out.  I was driving a 2019 Yukon as a loaner until mine was fixed and I noticed the same noise between 60-80 mph although it was not as pronounced.  I received my 2018 Yukon back from the dealer and the same noise is still there and as loud as it ever was.  The replacement of the differential(ring and pinion) did not fix the problem.  I did tell them the loaner has the same issue so I wonder if they have to disclose this prior to selling that vehicle?   I am now working with the owner of the dealership on trading my 3-month-old Yukon for another viable option.  I just can't get over the annoying whining noise for a 50K plus vehicle.  Cadillac/GMC/Chevy Truck and SUV bulletin regarding the same issue they had recalled for 2014-2016 products with a "high speed whining noise"  It was a multiple step guide to fix this is which started with the Ring and Pinion then the drive shaft then the rear axle. See the link below on the bulletin.

Video of whining/ringing noise, listen for it behind the road noise. At 13 seconds in the accelerator hits 77 mph to cruise.

Mine has almost 200k miles and wines. Has to be the pinion bearing. Base this on the experience and the pinion is the only thing spinning fast enough to wine and this is under a load. Axle bearing rpm is a lot slower and hardly ever fails. It is easy enough to check the pinion bearing for play. Block the wheels, put in neutral and with you hand grab the pinion flange and check for any slop up and down and in and out. Should be zero play. Then pull the plug and check the magnet. Should be clean. Even if you don't find anything will be the bearing. Find a good mechanic with references with warranty backed.  You can verify the location or source using a magnetic pickup and stick it to the transfer case and measure the Hz and amplitude at speed on hwy. Then do the same on the rear end. The one with highest amplitude is your source. I use a guitar pick up and a 12vdc amplifier. Works the best.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
