The GM Trademark buzz

I have had it in some, but not all of my GM trucks/suv's, my new callaway tahoe has NONE

So the first 6 months of owning my Burb it sounded like the tailgate was loose. Didn't happen all the time (I hate troubleshooting intermittent issues) but it was pretty annoying hitting bumps and whatnot. Went to the dealer a few times (Pine Belt Chevy in Lakewook for those who are local). The tech took a ride with me to confirm what he was heading. They replaced the inside of the rear tailgate plastic etc. Seemed to go away for a few days, then returned. To make a long story short, the manual fold down seat in the second row shimmys and the clamp that holds it in place, when you lock it down, is just a hair too loose. Loud as F--K when you hit the right bumps. Toss a laptop bag on there or anything with about 10 lbs and the noise disappears (hehe - intermittent issues).

A couple rounds of black electrical tape solved what was a very annoying problem. Once the tape gets cut through and the noise returns I'll do the same thing again but its almost 2 years now and the tape is still holding up.

Do you think that buzzing noise you are hearing could be something as simple as the seat hold down vibrating while driving? Maybe a little double sided tape at the friction point (with only 1 side removed) could solve your problem? It was a simple solution to a problem that I was getting pretty angry at. Hopefully you end up in the same boat as I.

This was it. Thank you very much. It’s not driving me nuts anymore

"Ya hear that?"
"Nope."
"Good."

I learned long ago luring the service manager to the truck to show him something, get him inside the truck to show him the noise and quickly start the truck, taking him on a test drive. It does wonders to motivate.

My service advisor laughed his ass off because he was told to do whatever was needed to fix the problem so that never happens again.
