I was driving my mothers C5 and noticed a strange noise coming from the car when ever the car went over 2000 RPM. It sounded like a loose wheel and it gets louder the higher RPM it goes. The car drives fine unless it's over 2k RPM. Her dealer must of not thought it was a problem since they test drove the car after the tire change to see if everything was working.

I'm stumped

if it was a loose wheel, i think it would depend more on speed rather than rpm's. Try to get a better idea of where the noise is coming from.

The noise is coming from somewhere in the engine bay. I think it's the pulley, but I'm no expert. Should I tighten every bolt I could in the engine bay?

The car drives fine at high speeds, I was just doing 100+ mph on a highway.

you need to get your timing belt checked

yeah, definetly check the belts and pulleys, stay outta real high rpms until you know, if your belt were to snap, if could seriosuly mess some stuff up... play it safe

The belts finally gave, a tow truck picked up her C5 and it is now at her Chevy dealer.

And I ask myself, didnt her dealer check up her car no less than 2 weeks ago for the tire change?
