Hi bros, I'm the new owner of a 2014 V6 Camaro, it's 47k miles.

The car runs well, the temperature is normal, everything is in stock, but the engine seems to me to sound like a cricket, my 2011 V6 Camaro did not make that kind of noise that I remember

Several weeks ago there was a post regarding a chirp sound in the engine bay. Maybe you could find it and also your answer.

I know that the engine of the 2011 V6 that was LLT changed to the LFX that would be the 2014 V6, so I check if the sound my car makes is normal? Can hear more from the driver's side

Completely normal

Tensioner pulley might be going bad.

The LFX injector solenoids are pretty loud.

So the sound of my LFX is normal?

mikeman · 11-06-2020, 04:07 PM

It doesn't sound like crickets, it has a sort of fluttering sound to it which is completely normal for the V6.

Vegas Bound · 11-06-2020, 04:37 PM

I would think there are 6 crickets.

Machh5 · 11-06-2020, 09:56 PM

Why would it do if it wasn't supposed to? It took millions of dollars to create that sound.

ElderJ · 11-09-2020, 06:54 PM

My 2014 1LT Auto makes almost the identical sound, albeit not quite as loud. Here's hoping it's just the sound of a normal operating LFX.

There is a high pressure fuel pump located in the back of the driver side head. Makes that noise. It steps the fuel pressure up to over a thousand PSI for the direct injection. It's fine.

mikeman · 11-19-2020, 06:28 AM

I wonder what would happen if a leak developed in the high pressure side under the manifold. Would the fuel just spray everywhere?

Just trying to imagine what 1-2K psi would do or feel like at that level.
