I am curious to know how many people have rattles or excessive abnormal noise apparent in thier cabin? Personally, I choose my IS because I wanted the best Sports and Luxusry combination in the 40k range. Now I am started to hear one shake or rattle after another.

I voted quiet as could be expected given the low profile 18" wheels and such. I believe most of the noise is from the tires.
Except there is some caliper rattle I believe when going over bumps, but I'm perfectly satisified.

They make the car so smooth and quiet that why you can pick up a lot of noise you normally don't. I just enjoy the Levinson sound system, so I can't hear any rattle or squeak...

I voted quiet as expected. I never realized how quiet it really is until I changed the horns out and a friend of mine was asking me why they were so loud the other day when she was standing right in front of the car versus riding in it.

I had some very annoying squeeks from around the vents/nav screen that only occured in freezing weather and went away when the cabin warmed up. Now that the weather is warmer, I never hear it, but I fear it'll be back next winter.

Its pretty quiet, not rattles at all. I had a small squeak on the driver's seat, but it was taken care under warranty at my 5K service. Something about some seat clips on the bottom of the seat.
About the only noise the car has once moving is the tire noise, but that is expected with any high perf tire. Now the Bridgestone RE050 are definitely quiter than the Dunlop Sport Maxx the car came originally with.
