Well driving to work today, when I push the gas pedal and accelerate it makes the sound of like (a baseball card in a bicycle tire), it only makes the noise when I'm accelerating. And can't tell any difference in performance.
Any help would be great!

Does it get louder with RPM?? Rod Knock??

sorry ive only had it for 3 weeks or so, and coming from a cts-v. So don't know crap about this thing..
here to learn

But yes it does get louder with rpm, but it does it lightly when in neutral if i get on the gas, but a lot louder if i am in gear accelerating.
I wouldn't say its serious because i don't see any change in the overall performance just sounds like somethings loose.

are those things listed, easy to look at?

Alright well thanks for your help!
is there a reason my car only does it while under a load?
the threads and videos i have watched it does it under idle when they start there car.

totally random but could an exhaust leak play a roll?

some people say to bleed the lifters, or ive been told to run a thicker oil. would that help?

I know this is an old *** thread, and I'm bumping it, but I have the same exact problem with my car right now. Did you end figuring it out?
