if you ask me? don't be paranoid. enjoy the car, no need to pay special attention to any noises. if it happens, it happens. not worth it pulling your hair out trying to figure out any noise

That has been the most frustrating thing that I have had to endure over the course of owning several 2nd to 3rd gen GS...when it gets cold outside....its like snap crackle pop on the inside!

Just got my 2010 gs350 last week. So far, I haven't heard any rattles of any sort.

How do you get the rattles?

Rattles never qualify for lemon law.

The OP wasn't very clear on why you're asking about the 3GS when you first mentioned the ES that's why I asked.

Just get an Accord.

Thats funny, Lexus bought my car back for rattles. My original gs300 (06) spent something like 48 days getting different rattles addressed without success. I asked Lexus to purchase it back, they did (no attorney needed).

Had a center console rattle when I first bought my 09. Took it to the dealership and was fixed the following day ... it was like they were expecting people with rattles to show up..
