No it's not normal. I would take it in and have it checked out.

Time for a different dealer. Sounds like low transmission fluid. Can you see any leaks under the rear of the car?

I appriciate everybody willingness to help but we figure out the problem. It was something in the shifter and the boot that was making the noise. The dealer that I bought the car from installed an aftermarket shift **** and something was loose. I will get back to the dealer that I bought the car from to see if they have an answer to the problem, but it is definitely not a GM problem. Thanks for your help.

I replaced the shift **** and wrap the stick coming up from the transmission with teflon tape and the noise is gone.
