My 25' Custom has a sound, that's not what I'd call a rattle, but more of a scrubbing sound that comes from the driver's side, passanger door, on the inside. Forward, and up from the door handle, if that makes sense. Sounds like 2 pieces of soft plastic rubbing against each other.

It's right behind my left ear, if you're driving. 

Anyone else?

Not related to your problem, but about a month ago I started getting a fluttering noise in mine. It kept getting worse. I decided it was definitely speed related. Being basically lazy in my retirement, I ignored it. Took a trip with my noise sensitive wife. That upped the priority on finding the problem. Got about 30 miles when I decided it would need immediate attention or I would have to listen to it and my wife. 🙂 Stopped and started checking. Turned out the hood deflector had worked loose on one side. Bought some foam tape and inserted a piece of that. Problem solved.

Not precisely what you are referring to and not of any help, but...

 

I get a fluttering type of noise that sounds like it is coming from the front console / behind dash, driver's side area.  It happens intermittently and only when traveling approx. 20mph or faster, and again, not all of the time.  I don't what it can be.

This might be that loose bolt on the coolant reservoir. Pop the hood it’s on the drivers side fender near firewall. That bolt is loose on a lot of trucks. 
presented as a weird flutter sound going over bumps lower speeds. I tightened mine and no more noises.

I'll be darned.  Not that I have any noises but decided to check the reservoir bolts after reading your reply, they both were loose.  You da man @Pryme!!

Not your issue but I have a good one. I had a 2001 Silverado that developed a sporadic flutter at speeds above 60mph. It really annoyed me (because I couldn't find the cause) but it drove my wife crazy. Which in turn aggravated me even more. One day while driving I leaned forward to find the source and noticed it was the rubber cover over the hood hinges under the cowl panel. I guess the bug deflector on the hood contaminated the air flow. I replaced the rubber with a heavier piece and solved the issue.

Pryme, I checked mine and it was loose!  The side mounted bolt was very loose and the second vertically mounted bolt slightly loose.  I tightened both.  Time will tell if this was the fluttering sound I was experiencing.  Thanks for the tip!

I bet it is. Mine did it and when I tightened that up it was silent. That reminds me I might just check it again just to make sure those don’t have a tendency to back out. Still no noise

Update....It's been over two months since I tightened the bolts on the coolant reservoir....no more noises (at least the one I had)!

Thanks Pryme for the tip!

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.
