Lol yea I have the exact same issue. When there is vibration, it causes your cluster frame to be in direct contact with the cluster causing those annoying squeeky noise. Loosen the bolts holding the frame and try to readjust it yourself. That's how i got rid of mine

Thank you for posting this issue. I thought I am the only one with this weird noise, but after I watch your video. I know we have exactly same noise, and it happened after it reaches mileages around only 500. I only have less than 1800 miles now, and it still occured with cold weather start. This noise really bugs me. I am planning to fix it from dealer when it reaches to 5000 miles service. But after hear all stories here, I guess the chances to fix it permanently become impossible now. Why lexus makes so many interior noises issue, one after one never stop. I am so regret to buy lexus car now.

same noise here. Only have it when im going like 70+ or certain times when its cold. Its almost like a rustling/squeaking noise from I thought the left vent area, but maybe the left side of the guage cluster.. when I push on the dash it goes away..

I am really scared to take it to the dealership and they fix it, and now I have a bunch of new rattles.. read way too many stories about that here
