Alright, I have a noise coming from the engine bay of my vehicle (2022 6.2l Yukon Denali), I compare it to the sound of a baseball card or piece of cardboard flapping against a bike spoke (not a tick or ping). The sound follows RPM up to about 25-30MPH and then goes away. Also, if I rev it while in park it follows RPMs up to about 3000 and then goes away and comes back as soon as it falls below 3000. Does it at idle as well.

Anyone have this issue? I have a cell phone video but can't post videos here.

I would look at the belt or belts to see if it's coming apart or something is touching/rubbing anywhere near the belt. If you don't see anything my first step in trouble shooting is to remove all the belts (don't know if yours has 1 or 2 belts) and see if the noise goes away. I can't imagine that type of noise coming from the motor itself but could be inside the bell housing.
FYI there isn't a belt tensioner so you need special tools to remove and get it back on.

FML. Sounds very similar. It's not as loud but very similar.
