If it sounds like slap, and its low mileage, they pretty much tell them right then that its slap, it happens, and to ignore it unless it gets worse.
And assuming that 3100 really is known for slap ( i got no idea, so im just running with DE137's diagnosis), then chevy probably knows about it, and has determined that while annoying, it doesn't really do any harm, and lets em roll off of the factory floor like that.
Just out of curiosity, what is the mileage?

I was told that Jeep noise was caused by the timing gear cover acting like a speaker. Some sound just like a diesel, but nothing is wrong.
