It has been miserable driving my truck for the last couple months. Drove down a dirt road one day and started hearing a chirping noise coming from behind the radio. It was driving me CRAZY! I tried just about everything I could with the dash but never fixed it. I come across this thread.. popped the hood and the upper brace on the passenger side from the firewall to the fender was loose. Moved it a couple times and it replicated the noise perfectly. Thank you so much

I just started getting a noise in my dash as well but on the driver side, also only when I hit bumps/ rough patch on the road, I will have to look inside the engine bay it might the same solution!

Guys, I have this chirp in my dash and it is about to drive me crazy! 2016 GMC 2500 6.6. I have two battery trays, one on passenger and the other on drivers side. I took a general look into this under my hood and was able to barely get to a few of the battery tray bolts, but if there are more they are not accessible without removing a lot of batteries, hoses and equipment. Before I do that, can you all confirm a few things...

 

1. Which battery tray was it or are the referenced above only for single battery trucks? Did you have to remove everything to get to this bolt?

2. Please confirm this sound is like a consistent chirp in the dash every time you hit the slightest bump and I cannot pinpoint location as every time I lean my head down it sounds like it is coming from a different direction... it is also very loud and it is really hard to think it is coming from the engine bay... same thing?

Check your driver side front trim screws at the knee area bolster cover and the screws which hold the dash cluster into the dash.
These are known to vibrate loose over time and make a bit of noise.

Thanks ya'll for finding out what was squeaking. I was chasing that noise for months. I found that brace bolt loose, tightened it up, and no more squeak. Thanks!  2017 Silverado LT
