Default Ringing/Buzzing Noise Engine Compartment

2019 Z06, little over 3000 miles. Just noticed it was making this noise the other day. Got a couple recordings of it this evening. First time I heard it, we had just pulled into the garage and the car was still running. Today, it had been off for a while and happened while I was washing it. Any idea what's making the noise?

Videos were too large to upload. Links to Google Drive:

this is so weird. I had never seen this until today, and apparently at least 4 people here have it and cant solve it.

This is so crazy. I posted about this same issue today with my 17 Z. There are a few linked threads going around. Consensus seemed to be a faulty shut off valve in the HVAC compressor: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-noise-2.html

If you do go to the dealer, please let us know what the fix is.

I have a 2016 z06 bought new. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I read your post as mine
has the same exact noise, only does it when warm after shut down when washing the car!
I took a video of it and showed my dealer when I had it in for service last year and of course
they could not duplicate the issue. It’s been making this noise since the first week of ownership,
had them document it at least for future reference, although my btb warranty experies in another 2
weeks. Please let us know how your dealer handles your problem. Cheers
