My handbrake button spring hums sometimes at certain rpms. Other than that it's usually quiet as can be!

I have a rattle from the hardware i left in the trans mission( where the old torque arm bolted in) when i put in my tunnel mounted torque arm and my 12 bolt whines at 45 to 55 ( no noise before or after those mphs). Other than that I cant hear anything else over the exhaust haha

I found out that the rattling noise was an exhaust leak. Threads in the 241's are gone and no header studs or bolts remain causing an eventual leak. LCA's and bushings need to be replaced soon I was told from the shop just yesterday.

hissing sound from my bullshit lowering kit that kinked my exhaust pipe. that was on there when i bought her. but thats getting removed and its minor so i can use a big pipe expander to fix it. New hangers while im there. It will look new too. Funny though, you only hear it until about 1700 then its all motor and pacesetter lt's lmao

On accel and decel I hear a clackclackclackclack knockknockknockkockn. Never on steady RPM, only on accel and decel. I can't figure out what in the hell is causing it and it's driving me nuts. It has gotten progressively worse over the last few weeks.

Mine has a squeak somewhere on the left side of the dash that annoys the crap out of me.

Also have an exhause leak somewhere between the driver header and y-pipe.

Could be LTs hitting the k member or your y pipe hitting something?

I don't hear much other than my exhaust through my 3" dump tube, haha. I do have a baby squeak everytime I press the clutch pedal down. Been meaning to WD40 it but it's not noticeable if I have the radio on.

It was the cats. They were all broken and loose inside the casings.

since the ls6 intake and ported throttle body my car pops a lot more on decel, and at idle you can really hear it sucking air lol, glad I did the throttle body on the old intake first it sounds like a vacuum leak

The beautiful sound of the exhaust with no muffler, awesome gear whine of a raced 4.11 Dana 60, vacuuming of the intake, resonance of loose change in my console cup holder, and the sound of poly bushings going over the unnecessarily large speed bumps in my neighborhood.
