Funny noise started recently during acceleration in my 2015 C7
I was so lucky to have only minimal issues with my C6 I hate to hear a funny noise coming from the C7. It's like a quiet almost high pitch noise during acceleration or if it has increased RPMs in cruise. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Automatic or stick? If Auto, in D or in M?
What mode is your exhaust in?

It could be the belt tensioner. If that is what it is, don't worry, it is an easy repair and will be covered under the warranty.

I've tried T and S exhaust and it happens in both of those.
It's got 61K miles on it so it's probably out of warranty. I guess it needs to be fixed anyway.

Jan, it's good to hear from you, but bad your Vette is experiencing problems. My first guess is like Joe's, the belt tensioner. I hope it's that easy.
BTW, only 61K.....you're slowing down a bit there girl.
