2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Unidentified Sounds

Veil · September 4

To begin, I am not super knowledgeable about mechanic work but I am looking for some input about two noises i experience on a daily basis.

The first is when I am idle or I have just shut the truck off, I hear a crinkling noise (very reminiscent of how a thick plastic wrapper crinkles). It did it for the whole time i was in a drive-thru, which was about 10 minutes. And after I park the truck and turn it off the noise continues for a couple minutes.

The second is more concerning to me, and that is that many times when driving I hear squeaking or chirping coming from the truck. It is so loud and high-pitched that I can not have the windows down, I thought it may have been the brake pad (tellers? I'm not sure what they're called but the things that tell you your brake pads are worn out) but the brake pads have 65% life and a visual inspection shows the teller is nowhere near the rotor on any wheel. The noise doesn't happen every time, for instance, I drove an hour down the interstate and never heard it once, but yesterday I drove for another hour down a major highway with very good road conditions and the noise persisted the whole time. The noise seems to slow down if I am approaching a stop until it eventually quits at about 10-15 MPH. The truck also squeaks when i hit the brakes for the first couple times, which is definitely coming from the back.

Any insight onto these issues would be greatly appreciated!

Having the same type of noise on my 2020 Silverado. Checked wheel bearing and front end is good. My noise is not all the time either. Starts at over 40 kilometres an hour. Can’t figure it out. When it’s shifted into 4x4 noise stops.
