I have the same noise. My wife drove her car beside mine and said its louder outside of the vehicle than you think. Its only at lower rpms when I start to speed up. Very annoying if you ask me for a car I paid 65k for. I also have the rubbing noise in the rearend and have had the dealership change the rear fluids. Still there!!! I plan on bringing it back to the dealership and discussing the exhaust noise and changing the fluid in the rear again. My dealership acted like they had no clue about the issues... UGH!

That mechanical "clack" is the sound of the valves closing when you rev up, and opening again when the engine spins back down to idle. |

Noisy actuators
Neil- I have a "14 1le with the same issue. I am in Portland and wanted to know what dealer you took it too since my dealer has never heard of this problem. Thanks in advance

My 2014 (automatic) ZL1's exhaust made a light rattlesnake-like rattle coming from the back which increased in frequency with the increase in RPM. It did not rattle when parked, when revving in park, or at any point in driving when the gas pedal was not being pushed (braking / deceleration). It also never went away no matter how warmed up it was.
IT DROVE ME NUTS! Did a fuse pull this weekend and the sound is completely gone. |

Phht. Aye-aye, Captain!
And actually, because I was responding to the Neil's BlackZL1's original question, which, due to the ambiguity with which it was phrased allows room for interpretation, it does fix this problem. Perhaps not his problem, but my car's problem could have been described the exact same way and the fuse pull fixed it. Trust me, I know. Last edited by jamekitz; 03-21-2014 at 05:38 PM. |

I just got a DashLogic box and it will hold my flaps open or closed. I wonder if holding them closed would solve your noise issues?
