Unexpected sizzle
After driving home tonight, I pulled the Vette into the garage (2013 C6 M6 Coupe) and turned the car off. I went to the rear, popped the hatch to get something out, and I heard a prolonged series of sizzles. It sounded a lot like water hitting a hot pan. Haven't heard this before. Definitely sounded close, as I was standing in the rear. Closed the hatch, it lasted another few secs, and stopped. Any thoughts on what it might be? This one caught me off guard.

DD, so I'm always at the rear hatch getting my gym bag, etc. after driving home. This was just the first time I've heard this dripping/sizzle. Thanks for the input!

That is the GM designed plugged A/C drain warning sounder. If the A/C drain plugs water can back up into the passenger footwell soaking the carpet and eventually shorting the BCM which is a very expensive issue. The sizzle you hear is water draining normally onto the hot exhaust indicating the drain is NOT plugged. You need to worry if you DON'T hear it. As long as it sizzles the drain is working properly.

Man, I am glad this forum is here. I am really having to learn all of these nuances about the Vette. So many different sounds/noises that are apparently normal, but I just never experienced in my previous cars. Then again, my previous cars never had 430HP
Thanks for the continued information!
