If you hear an unusual sound coming from your Chevy Traverse, it could be a sign of engine or timing chain issues. It is important to have it inspected to determine which part needs to be replaced. Timing chains may need to be replaced after every 100,000 miles, so it is recommended to replace them regularly. If your check engine light is on, and the engine makes rattling noises while idling, it may indicate low oil levels. Running the engine without enough clean oil can make it louder and more rough, so be sure to keep up with regular oil changes.

    Numerous unsettling and concerning sensations will accompany the sounds. Such as the screeching of tires, the judder of the brake pedal, and the sensation that the steering wheel is making a similar noise. It's crucial to realize that mimicking random noises is challenging without knowing the timing, necessary actions to recreate the sound, and the specific sound itself. A skilled technician should be able to recreate and identify most noises, so be sure to provide them with these three details to expedite the diagnosis of the vehicle.
