Whining/supercharger noise when RPM’s increase

I am experiencing a noticeable whining noise when my RPM’s increase. It almost sounds like a supercharger. Curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this and know what it is.  I tried posting a video but it wouldn’t let me attach.

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 with 6.2 liter and 10 speed auto with 33,000 miles.  It recently developed a loud whine that was tied to throttle input.  The more throttle the louder it got.  Took it to

Maybe trucks do take after their owners ?

10 speed ? If so yep I have it. Very faint whine engine noise I would almost call it.  Drove with GM tech and another dealers Forman. Both say it’s normal. Brother has a 18 5.0 F150 and same whine noise. Faint but annoying as hell.  Maybe  high pressure pump ? I’m definitely no expert.

Yep, I have a 10 speed. But my dad also has a 10 speed and his doesn’t do it. Took it in the dealership thinking it was the alternator but the tech said it’s coming from the transmission

Do you think your issue might be related to the discussion in this thread?

I get that same noise! More noticeable when tires are spinning... Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hope nothings wrong.

What kind of mileage are we talking about when the noise was first noticed?

I noticed the noise soon as I purchased the truck. I drove my dads 2019 (identical to mine) the other day and it didn't make the whining/supercharger noise that mine makes. I currently have 3k miles on mine

I hear it on my 6.2 / 10 speed.  I don't like it, but I think I am stuck with it.  At first I thought it was the radio antenna.

You don't like the noise or the truck?

haha.  I LOVE the truck. The noise could be annoying if I was OCD.

Many odd noise complaints across several different topics (jingle jingle thread, squeaky belt/pulley thread, now this one).  I realize that's nothing new, particularly with a first year new platform truck.

 

I work for a large supplier to GM in the powertrain segment and I've been told just this that GM Global Propulsion Systems (GPS - formerly called Powertrain or GMPT) is investigating some noises due to metal stampings, some are heat shields on what I believe is just the 6.2L.  This may or may not be related to any of the above noise complaints/issues though I'm doubtful it's related to the jingle jingle since that seems to be pointing to the front axle stub shaft.

 

I know this isn't anything concrete or maybe not even worth posting.  Just some info that may or may not put some owners at ease.  No clue as to what specific components have been isolated by GM or where they might be, so please don't inquire further - I can't answer further because I simply don't know much more.  I wish I could just call these guys up and give them symptoms and get questions answered but that would be frowned upon by my employer, I'm sure.

 

Hang in there, guys.

That's good to know. Please keep us updated when you know more.

I will if I do - I'm hearing this second hand but from a direct participant in the meetings - no clue on the frequency of meetings either.  Not to repeat myself over & over in several threads but I'm mainly trying to find out info on my particular noise issue (dealer says it's oil PCV related) but GM GPS claims they've yet to hear about that issue even though there's a PIP document out there since 10/2018 & supposedly an engineering change being considered.  Kinda sounds like GM is all over the place and may not be getting all the information that's pouring in.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
