Default Rattle like something vibrating

While running 35 to 42 at 1.2 rpm’s is when I hear what sounds like bearings going out. If I slow down or speed up it goes away, it will drive you crazy.No lights or check come on. Has anyone experienced this ? C7 automatic

Torque Tube, heat shields on the exhaust, bad cat substrate, wheel hub, or a thousand other things.

Sorry but your description is the equivalent of "My car is broke what's wrong?"

Without even minimal trouble-shooting, pictures, video, or description of the car....Z06, Stingray, etc...not many will jump in to help.

Kind of like my over educated sister once asked me.

My car is broken; I'll hold the phone next to it so you can tell me what's wrong.

Check the idler pulley for the belt. It has a shock absorber on it that leaks and goes bad and starts a fluttering at low speeds.
