Hello! First post, first Lexus. Absolutely ecstatic with the car, only regret is not purchasing one earlier.
There is one thing that is annoying me...a lot. To the point where I think about it whenever I get in or out of the car. I was wondering this noise from the door stop check is normal. I have had everything from a cheapo Volkswagen as my first car to Ford/GMC/Nissan/Mazda and never heard this.

That's normal. I was concerned about it too, until I tested other models and heard the same thing, both in my wife's RX and other ES models I test drove. It's just the sound of the rollers going over the indents of the arm-thing...whatever it's called

Thank you, sounds like it's a normal thing then. I just found it suspicious that Lexus goes through all this R&D for a nice quiet ride and would overlook the door. I love this car though. I used to enjoy damaging ear drums with a good old V8, but...things change. I've gotten older, my back hurts when I wash my car and I get a headache if my vehicle is loud. I can see why the ES line still does incredibly well in todays day and age where SUV & Crossovers are taking over the world.
I plan on keeping this beauty with the 2GR FKS for a long time. A little off topic but, here is my maintenance plan, any additional maintenance points from long term owners would be appreciated too!
Oil Change / Tire Rotation: 5k or 6mo
Trans Fluid Change: 60k or 6yr
Coolant: 50k or 5yr
Spark Plugs: 120k or 10yr
Brake Fluid: 4yr
Battery: 4yr

This is normal for an ES. If it's unacceptable might I suggest you go check out Mercedes or Bentley.
