Strange Chirping Noise From Driver Side.
 
Hey all. I'm new to the forum here! and sadly my first post is about a problem.
I recently got a 2012 camaro LT1 RS package, brand new from the dealer and its been making a weird chirping noise specifically from the drivers side. It's hard to pinpoint the exact location and it only happens while the car is in motion and when it is cold out. It gets louder during the night in temps of 40-50. Took it to the dealer twice and the mechanics cant pinpoint the noise either as it wont replicate when im driving with them (just my luck) Here's a link to the sound

It sounds like a chirping noise as if two plastic parts are rubbing against each other. Any thoughts? This noise is driving me insane!

Wow! That would get annoying!! Lol!

I would grab a small friend, throw him in the backseat with a stereoscope (or a hose or something) and try to isolate the location of that noise.

I actually have a chirp too, but it's not like that. It chirps once or twice every once and a while, so that might be the beginnings of what is to come. :/

Do you mean a stethoscope? That's not a bad idea! Its so weird, the mechanics did indicate that it could be coming from under the good as well.

I had a noise like plastic rubbing together in an older car. I sprayed WD 40 behind the inst panel in a last ditch effort. It worked. Smell went away after awhile. Sorry dashboard.

Yes, stethoscope :) iPhone and proofreading fail. :D

I am hearing my little chirp from around the door area, and your audio clip sounds like mine if it never stopped. I also hear my chirp when I close my door sometimes, so I am leaning toward something there. Hopefully your 'helper' will get us closer to where it might be coming from. :)

I have it on the passenger side. I pulled off the A pillar and put some felt tape where I thought it came from but struck out.

I'll get it, just need the time to have the wife drive it while I trouble shoot.

Luckily yours is on the passenger side an you can try to fix it. I find it hard to drive and try to find the damn noise at the same time lol.

Welcome to Camaro5! We apologize for the frustrations that you are currently experiencing. Please keep in mind; no one knows the idiosyncrasies of your car better than you. It’s for this reason I highly recommend that you consider personally road testing your vehicle with the Service Manager so you can demonstrate the concern you are experiencing. This way, before anyone exits the car, it is perfectly clear what you are referring to. The Service Manager then can provide you with his/her recommendation regarding the concern.

Thanks Brandon,
I have already visited my dealership twice and rode with the assistant manager and a mechanic. It made the noise when i was with the assistant manager, but not when i rode with the mechanic during the day. To me it seems that the noise becomes louder throughout the night. I dont know how to schedule a drive at night since the service department closes at 7 and that is the time i usually get off work. Any other suggestions?

Could it possibly be your brakes? I had a chirping noise similar to this one that hasn't shown up again since I replaced pads and rotors on my SS.

Mine is clearly only when it's below 40* outside. After driving the car for a half hour or so it's gone. Comes from the passenger corner near the windshield/A-pillar intersection.

It sounds just like two pieces of plastic rubbing against each other. I never hear it from April through October. Only in the winter...

Did you get the noise fixed by any chance?
