Default Chattering noise from 2003 Z06

Hello everyone,

I just bought a 2003 Z06 and I am hearing this chattering noise. I have no idea what it is and where it is coming from.
I think I hear more clearly from the rear side of the car and sounds like it is loud when rpm drop from the revving.
Can anyone advise on this noise?
Here is video of the noise.

Thank you,

There is too much background noise in the video to notice anything specific in my opinion. Did you notice the noise before you bought it? Put it up on a lift while running and listen to multiple points on the driveline with a mechanic's stethoscope.

It's hard to tell from the video, I can hear slight drivetrain noise, but no red flags. If you are concerned, I would recommend the dealer or a local shop to look it over.
