At start up there is a higher pitch squeal noise that seems to oscillate with engine rev, it almost sounds like a squeaky AC belt. After the engine has started for about 20 seconds the noise tapers off and disappears. I'll try and post the video below.

The second is a constant tick noise under throttle, audible between 1500 and 4000 RPM, but not at idle. I owned a 2016 V6 Camaro previously so I'm familiar with the direct injection noises, but this sound is either different or much more amplified than my 2016.

Any thoughts?
I have the same exact noise. Mine is a 2016 built in May. Took it to the dealer. First they said they could not replicate it. Gave me the car back. Still the noise, so I recorded it on my phone and took it back. Once they said they could not replicate the noise again I showed them the video. They kept the car another night. They seemed to think it was normal.

I hear the same noise you explain between 1500-4000 RPM. In my instance, sounds like that it is the same noise as you and I are hearing on startup.

Maybe in spring I will take it to another dealer. I have been waiting for someone else to post on this.

EDIT: I took it to the dealer before there was a tsb for water pump.
