Another Mystery Buzz

Nov. 6, 2017
Some owners of 2007-2013 Chevy Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe models may complain about a buzz or rattle noise during light acceleration around 1,200-2,000 rpm. The noise may also sound like a squeak, creak or tap coming from behind the instrument panel. This could be caused by the fuel line or fuel line bracket above the transmission contacting the floor pan.
