My 17 with the 6.2 has the fuel pump priming when opening the driver's door.

We don't know what year OPs truck is but the fuel pump does not automatically prime when the door opens til you have either a '16 or '17, I forget which. I can confirm this because when my '15 was in for service I had a '17 loaner and that was the first thing I noticed was the fuel pump priming when the door opens.

 

My guess is the OP has either a '14 or '15 and the buzzing sound is coming from somewhere under the hood near all the electrical box / pcm area. Mine does this too randomly after shutoff. It buzzes for a few seconds.

 

It is a 2017 5.3. Today I pulled out my phone to make a video but it didn't do it this morning. Last night it was NOT the regular noise I hear. It was buzzzz, like the sound you would hear on a game show if someone got the wrong answer. It went on for maybe 3 seconds. Even my wife was like "what the heck is that?" I was like IDK the first time i heard it. Ive had the truck for one month now.

You sure it was not coming out of your speakers? My 14 model will every now and then have a glitch where it makes buzzing sounds out of the speakers when I open the door (no key in the ignition). It has done it 3 or 4 times in 3 years and goes away if I shut the door and open it back up.

That could be it? I was putting my son in a car seat so I couldn't investigate. If it happens again I will listen there. Ive had the truck a month and opened the door maybe 100+ times and this was the first time its happened, however it was the rear doors opened not the front.

That's it. Mine does that. Pretty sure it comes from speaker.

Lots of confusion going on here. I have a ‘17 6.2 Sierra. I too wondered what this sound was. I tried to do some research online with little success. When I was at the dealer for my first oil change I inquired about the noise. I was told it was the fuel pump priming for the direct injection. GM introduced it in 2017 to remedy the long crank times associated with the new ecotec3 GDI engines. When the driver door is opened (and only the driver door), the pump will prime IF the rail pressure is not optimal to achieve whatever crank time GM has deemed appropriate. So, if you drive somewhere, park, come back to your truck 30 min later, the priming ain’t gonna happen because you’ve still got good residual fuel pressure. However, if the truck sits overnight you will most likely hear it prime the first time you open the DRIVER’S door. And that’s ONLY for 2017’s. That’s what I was told by a service tech, and that’s my understanding of how it works. As for you fellas with ‘14, ‘15, ‘16 trucks, not sure what you’re hearing.

Thanks Dmorris. After this thread I made a point of listening and noticed that, like you said, after short stops I do not hear the sound of the fuel pump.

I’m convinced it’s either the fuel pump or he emergency brake. I’m unsure as to why the brake would auto set, but I originally heard this exact noise in my wife’s 17 GMC Acadia. I wasn’t surprised at all to hear it in this truck. On her car it’s for sure the e-brake.

 

try pressing the E-brake button and compare the noises.

 

also, I heard it last week when I unlocked and opened the tailgate. Once again this wouldn’t make since for the fuel pump, but would for the e-brake.

My 2018 makes this noise every morning when I open the driver's door.  Looks like it is the fuel pump.  I thought that it was some kind of a vacuum pump.

Anyone ever hear what sounds like metal clicking when they open the rear doors on a hot day?  I’m getting a noise on both sides from under the cab when I first open the doors.  The truck has to be sitting for a while for it to happen.

The sound might be coming from the speakers, my sister's Acadia was doing it. Unplug the wiring harness inside each door by the hinges and see if there's any water, if so that's your problem. Two of hers were full of water, shook most of the water out then let dry before plugging back in

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
