I hear a ticking noise coming from the engine. The service department thought it was due to the fuel pressure. We also heard it on another 2016 Corvette. There is no GM bulletin for this, so they have no thoughts on it yet. The ticking seems could be louder when shifting from park to drive or when the engine is warmer. It is very annoying and can be heard over the radio often. I had a 2015 Corvette and this was not an issue in that car. Not sure what they changed. I really hope a bulletin goes out so that the 2016s can be enjoyed. (Note that the noise that was referred to earlier in the post by someone else is probably due to the engine going into 4 cylinder mode - I always hear that then too, but the aforementioned ticking is much more annoying and pervasive).
