2021 IS350 idle noise
#31
Noticed the same noise on wife’s 2023 IS350 FS now has 5,000 miles. It sounds like a combination thump/glug and my theory is that it’s the air intake amplifying the sound of the cylinders taking in a glug of air when the intake valve opens on each head. These cars have minimal noise reduction in the CAI path and on the same V6 on another Lexus you wouldn’t hear it as much.
Just a theory.

My brand-new 2021 IS 350 was making this noise, too. What are the chances the dealership put "cheap" oil in the car? 😄
