Weird noise from the driver side - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I got this weird noise from the driver side that sounds like something's tapping rapidly on the metal surface, the noise only come on when I'm driving on highway up to around 70 mph, I don't hear it when driving locally or at a slower speed, took it to the dealer today, a senior technician went on a ride with me, and he heard the noise too, but later on told me he thought he heard something at a time , but it turned out they couldn't find the source of the noise , and told me to come back when situation gets worse, then might be easier to identify, but the noise is killing me, I have to turn on the music just to pretend that I'm not hearing it, any one here might know something about it?

No joke: I experienced a similar issue. Drove me frickin' bonkers. Turned out to be the little plastic cover on top of the seat belt anchor... it had popped off, was dangling by its little tether. Took .58 seconds to fix, once identified.

I would guess a loose heatshield or piece of plastic underneath flapping in the wind. Possible a inner fender lining or something as well. If that's the case you should be able to just check for any loose plastic panels and such. Go around tapping on the inner fenders and check underneath for any loose plastic.

The dealer said they didn't find any lose debris or object in it, I tried tapping on the inner fenders and sounds solid

check the tires for a screw? I had that, the screw didn't go deep enough to cause a leak but it was noise as all get out when you were doing highway speeds

I checked, no screws, the noise is coming from the driver side between the door and the dash
