Having a strange issue.. when my truck is up to operating temp and im coasting down the road it sounds like theres an air leak or tick of some sort (definitely not exhaust leak). Gets louder the faster I coast but immediatly goes away when I hit the gas. Hard to tell from the video but if you lusten you can hear it go away when i hit the gas. Does not have a check engine light. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any ideas on what It could be? I cleaned the throttle body, replaced serp belt, and replaced air filter. Truck is 100% stock and is a 2020 1500 with the 5.7

Edit: the noise goes away when i put the truck in neutral or if i put the truck in tow/haul

ok ive been having the same exact issue hard to describe it. cross between a vacuum leak and exhaust leak type of sound and it is on the passenger side. I took my mechanic for a ride he heard it, has never heard that sound before he gave the truck a really good inspection on the lift with me and we cannot find ANYTHING wrong. mine is a 2017 1500 5.7 and the sound goes away when eco mode gets disabled either by shifting into manual mode or pressing the gas. it has been driving me nuts. At first i thought it had something to do with my after market muffler but that has been on there for 6 yrs. no apparent leaks. no codes. no fuel mileage change. plugged exhaust while running on lift, nothing... at a loss...
