I had a similar noise for the first 2k miles or so.  It's since gone away and I haven't noticed it in a long time.  Currently at 6k miles on my 2020 z71 ltz, 3.0L duramax.

I have a 2021 Trail boss too has 300 miles  when I turn mine off it makes all sorts of electric actuator noises. Also does yours lose the settings for radio once you turn it off then on again?

Does it occur when rounding a turn at slow speeds, and when the truck is not level (ie, the road is on an angle)?

Do you have the 10 speed tranny?  I hear the same thing.  I have a 2020 AT4 with the 10 speed and when I am come almost to a full stop, like a low speed crawl, I hear it.  I chucked it up to the transmission catching up to gear down.  Mine sounds like its coming from the rear.

Just bought (2 weeks ago) a 2022 Trailboss LTD 6.2L (Still 2021 styling) and I am getting the same sound. I took it to the dealer also and can’t find anything so far. I have to be going about 30mph or higher and slow fairly fast to get to to happen when it warms up. When its cold first thing in the morning it is a little louder. Always seems to be coming from front end area. I took it to the dealer today though to let the sales person and manager hear what I was talking about and when I was leaving their entryway, which is rather steep, I was sitting waiting to exit (nose of truck lower than the back) it made the sound like a ball rolling and bouncing down the tubular frame, gas tank or something. Weirdest sound I’ve heard from a vehicle. Have an endoscope camera and going to look around within different things on the truck this weekend will let you know what I find if anything.

All these people having the bouncing ball sound I bet you have the stillen scoop installed. I had the same issue with my 6.2 LTZ and figured out it was the active shutters interfering with the scoop.  Ended up removing and going back to stock didn’t want to have to modify or remove active shutters. Also noticed when the scoop was on the shutters were always open which I didn’t like as well as making the sound you are explaining.

I will check this out tomorrow. I do have the stilled scoop. It so much sounds like a ball or marble bouncing when coming to a stop. Not at slow speeds though so makes sense possible airflow issues at a higher speed with the active shutters. Don’t know very weird.

So update: couldn’t get back with you all like I wished thanksgiving took up most of my time but I did in fact find the answer to my bouncing ball sound thanks to NICK19LTZ. I took off that Stilen scoop and what ya know no more bouncing ball sound. It makes ever so slight contact on the top shutter. Contacting Stilen now to let them know. Thank You NICK19LTZ that was driving me nuts.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. Chevy pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Silverado 1500, and we got the first official look.   Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevrolet-silverado-official-first-look-specs/   The quick hits: LT is dead. The new core trim is just called "Silverado." Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally gets the 10-speed. ZR2 moves to standard 35s with front and rear lockers. Over 60 inches of dash display on ZR2 and High Country, passenger screen included. Seven trims, three lifted from the factory: ZR2, Trail Boss, and a new Custom Trail Boss.   So let's get into it: 5.7 and 6.6 instead of holding out for a 6.7. Right call? Killing the LT name after all these years: bold, or a mistake? Does the new look land for you, or is it too safe? No power numbers at reveal. Smart tease, or frustrating? What are you ordering on day one?   Drop your first impressions below.

      LOL west coast they need to see what the midwest actually has.  We have been holding at 2.99 for a few weeks now.  Even by work they have come down to 3.02 for the past week.

      Diesel or gas?  The 37s will obviously, drastically reduce mpg, but the gasser will take a bigger hit to mpg, and power.  Rough guess, but I'd estimate at least a  2mpg hit on the diesel, and up to 4on the gasser. Maybe more.    I wouldn't sweat a gear change on a duramax at all, and unlikely on the gasser either. You're obviously not concerned with acceleration or towing, and the 10spd will find itself in the right gear without much hunting, if any.    If towing, mpg and acceleration are a concern, you're doing the wrong mods.  Either leave it alone, or do the lift/tires and let the chips fall where they may.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I understand. It is disturbing to think a manufacture asks so much and gives so little in engineering support. This is not a GM issues, this is a greed issue and one the ALL practice.    My intent was not to remove the wind from anyone's sail but rather to point out the areas deficient so that they can be discussed with improvements the goal. But to do that you have to know the truth and what that truth is.    The commercial interest are honed in on a few select issues in which they control all the variables and are not forthcoming in the least with their customers about the details. Failure is the only thing that drives these people to improvement. One way not to fail it to manage public "expectations". The set a bar they can clear and put their thumbs under the suspenders with chest puffed.... Only the internal data tells the story fully. As we don't have access to that for decades then we have to generate it ourselves. UOA's with data that matters.

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.
