Clicking? or tapping? More than likely you are referring to the valvetrain noise.

i know what your talking about. To me, it sounds like a large drop of water hitting the trunk lid. Been that way since day one, just ignore it.

i thought the exact same thing, i know what you're talking about. But it is normal. Multiple dealers have said the same thing and ive heard several other camaros and they are all alike. dont worry! however, idk what the noise is coming from but its not affecting anything.

You must have a V6. It's normal. The sound is actually the Injector Pulse. That motor does it in the Camaros as well as the CTS.

Its because of Direct Injection. The injectors run at a much higer psi than normal fuel injection.

Normal. It's the reason we have 312 HP and 29 MPG on the highway.

I have the CTS with the direct inject engine. It clicks or taps, whatever you want to call it. It is normal.
