Default Driver door window button panel buzzing to music

Has anyone found a fix to the buzzing noise coming from the driver door panel (where window buttons are) while playing music? Going to take the panel off this weekend but was curious if anyone has anything specific. Thanks

Mine does the same. It seems to have gotten better though. I would just pop that panel and put a little felt strip if it bothers you a lot.

As said in other posts i bought a roll of felt strip from eBay and went to town. Remove switch pod and just wrap tape around the little plastic fingers that stick into the receiving end of the panel. Factory does the same thing but not at ALL locations. The cost/time is too much per car and so it's not done everywhere.

Has anyone actually ever solved this issue on the IS model specifically? I’ve tried a few things but it still seems there is a contact point that needs to be cushioned...it went away for a week after I tried a few suggestions I’ve seen others do but came back yesterday. This is so beyond annoying knowing this is a luxury vehicle making a noise like this..was just driving my sisters rogue with the music up quite a bit and got none of this nonsense
