Anyone know what this small ticking noise is on cold starts on my 2024 tahoe 5.3? Is this a common noise on the engine on these trucks?

Yes very common, my 2019 Silverado did it on cold starts, my 2025 Silverado does it and our 2022 Tahoe does it. It goes away after it warms up. If it's a lifter noise it will still be there when you raise the RPMs but it goes away when the RPMs come up

Mine does it briefly at fresh startup

Ok yea noise goes away once it’s warmed up only happens on cold starts when cars been sitting for a few hours.

Did you ever get the sound diagnosed and if so what did the dealership say it is?

Update: Took it in to the dealership, they checked for any issues and codes and confirmed this is normal expected behavior and just monitor it especially if the noise comes even after the vehicle has been warmed up or while driving.
