Default Noisey 2005 ZO6 ?

Hi, my 2004 LeMans ZO6 has a somewhat slight rhythmic noise more noticeable from the dashboard area since I bought it at 18k miles. Does not sound bad like a valve tick or major mechanical issue for sure. No performance or mileage is being effected. Starts, runs and cruises great. Noise more evident at highway speeds.

Only 28k miles now, noise is no worse or better. Car has the typical 6spd with transaxle set up.

Nature of the beast, as vettes are not noted for a quite ride, or?

Any insight appreciated.

would not hurt to pull your valve cover off its really easy to do and inspect your valve springs , the early z's were know to break valve springs with the later z's that issue being fixed,.
