Default Squeak

I got a new C7 corvette 3 months ago the car makes a very low squeak sound whenever I accelerate. The best way I can describe it is with the following video.

The only rattle in my Z06 comes from the right side opera window behind passenger seat.
If I reach over and push under the glass it stops. But it is annoying for passanger and drives me up a wall.

The two ticks I heard reminded me of what I was chasing for several months when I first got my C7. Turned out it was my passenger seat belt buckle, when no one was in the passenger seat, hitting the plastic back of the chair. Easy check, buckle the passenger belt and see it it goes away! If so, I solved by using a seat belt pad pushed down near the buckle.

If you want to capture the audio for forum and/or dealer diagnosis, I suggest you record with your mobile phone, rather than the PDR. While the PDR does provide in-cabin audio, it's quite muffled and bass-heavy, which is not conducive to capturing squeaks and rattles that generally occur in the higher frequency ranges (that the PDR probably can't easily record). --- Good Luck!
