2011 Equinox usually after it has sat for a period of time when starting the engine makes loud noise which immediately quiets and seems fine when warm. Dealer gave wife some story about the hydrolic lifters some other excuse for noise. Even showed her where they have wraped something under the hood to reduce noice. Sound bogus to me. Is this something GM knows is a problem?

It sounds like you just have water spraying somewhere it shouldn't. Do you have the protective panels in the wheel arches and under the engine. Some people take them off.
The squeaking noise might be the serpentine belt slipping. You can get a spray called 'Belt Conditioner'. It softens it and makes it grip. It often needs two treatments a week apart.

you have to let the air out of the system,open the container from , steering liqiud.start engine,turn steeringwheel 7 times left and 7 times right all the way.refill if needed.its normal to hear loud sound when steering all the way to the end,but its best not to do that.its not made for steering all to the end.
Did you get an answer to this question? Our 2014 Equinox is "beeping" from under the hood after shutting it off. Also seems to have started only during COLD weather. No it doesn't have anything to do with steering or suspension components. It is an audible beep noise or chirp noise. Thanks in advance.
It's very likely that you need to replace the fuel pump. Usually, if its that loud either its sucking air (because you're out of gas) or the pump is about to go out.
I have a 2006 chevy equinox and when i started it it had a quiet tick which was a completely new development. As I drove it became very loud so we pulled over turned it off...started it again after a coupld minutes it started but noise was still there, checked the oil it read low so we added two quarts then it wouldn't start meanwhile no smoke showed no burning smell didn't overheat and now lights came on.
1995 Ford Windstar 3.8L Engine Knocking noise on top side of engine near center of Air Plenum. Engine was completely rebuilt 2 years ago (28,000 miles on Re-Built Engine/ 156,000mile on Van). Coolant level is SAT, Engine oil level is Sat. Van was driven 2800 miles since last oil/filter change. Engine started surging as van slowed down to make a stop then engine shut off. Restarted engine and heard knocking noise. Shut engine off immediately. The oil light flickers on dash with engine running. Do fuel injectors make tapping noises when degraded? Is it possible hydraulic lifter not able to leak down or does not fill with oil? Oil pressure issue with the dash light flickering? I can see if the engine has allot of miles on it, the intake and exhaust valves begin to leak-by how ever this not the issue. Where do you start to locate engine knock noise? How is oil pressure checked to see if pressure is too low? Any help where to start would be appreciated.
Sounds like the alternator bearings have gone away, but, you need to physically check the source of the noise. (I can't do that from here). It also seems that you may have more than one problem going on there, possibly a bad ignition switch and also a blown fuse or bad body control module. As far as why the noise seems to be only when the engine is "freewheeling" may have a lot to do with rpm change and loading when in gear. I would go after the obvious alternator problem first, then sort out the remainder later.
Find a quiet empty stretch of road. Go 50 mph, put the trans in NEUTRAL and shut the engine. If noise is still there, swing car left and right to detect noise differences. Could be hub or axle bearings. Not engine or trans if noise is still there. Hope this helps
could be the oil pump. Had the same problem w/ E 30. Installed a pressure gauge and check performance at different speeds. Pressure was consistently low against specs. Change the pump . . problem gone.
