Hello. I have the truck listed above 1500 LS. It sounds like it is coming from the front end under the floor area, it started on the driver side and now I can hear it on both sides. I can feel the vibration in the gas pedal. Do you have an idea of what this could be? Thanks, Juliet Davis.

Good morning,

Can you upload a video of the noise for me to hear? This noise could be coming from so many areas.

One of the common areas is wheel bearings but needs to be confirmed.

The one thing that comes to mind is the shield on the catalytic converter. There are times the shield becomes loose and vibrates causing this noise.

You can go under the car or have someone check it and see if the shield is loose and vibrating. It is a simple fix with clamps.
