Corvette Engine Bay Noise
Hi Guys! I'm excited to finally be part of the Corvette family after 1 long year of waiting! I've had my C8 coupe for about 2 weeks now and I'm at about 500 miles in -
I noticed a noise from the engine bay, it sounds like a squeaky metal clicking noise (Sound attached). The noise is especially loud/noticeable when I accelerate and decelerate on local/bumpy roads.
I don't notice it too much on the fwy. Was wondering if anyone has this same issue? Do you think there is a problem with the engine? Or maybe the Engine Bay Partition?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

That's definitely not normal. I've had 2 C8's and neither made that sound. I could only speculate on what it might be. Dealer time, for sure. Good luck.

I would feel around the engine compartment and see if anything feels loose. Could be something simple causing the noise. If not can take to the dealer and have service tech go for a ride with to try and diagnose.
