Default video!!! name that noise - please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i posted awhile back about a noise i hear only while driving and its coming from both the drivers and passenger side of the front of the truck.i think its something inside but not 100% sure. sounds like styrofoam rubbing together. please watch the video and let me know if anyone knows what this might be.i dont think its from the hood either. listen hard b/c my iphone doesnt pick it up all the time but you can def hear it many times.

I assume you've tried emptying all storage compartments? Maybe have another person in the cab with you to try and track down the source as you drive? Or position themselves next to the bump outside the vehicle as you drive by it and find what they can hear that way?

cant really hear if its inside or underneath the vehicle. try: something in the dash, door panels, loose shock absorber bolts.

sounds like a rattle more than a chirp. First of all, make sure your exhaust isn't rubbing against anything and that your spare tire is not loose.

But it could range from your struts making that noise all the way down to something inside the dash?? Sounds like it's something loose by the way it rattles.

My silverado used to have a distinct chirp when going slow over bumps and was a very common issue. It had to do with the rear end suspension. I don't think this is your problem, but i thought I would mention it.

sounds like a shock to me, but then again, thats just a wild guess.

maybe the bushings in your golden poon spring are worn out...
