If you listen closer, you'll hear the same inconsistent tick like Salil022's video. Mine isn't as loud, however there is an inconsistent sound heard more around the wheel well area.

That is exactly what i thought...Metal clicking sound on my IS-F around the wheel well seems much more louder than nicholas Is-f (ngl) for some reason...I called my dealership today and told the mechanic that i have posted video on clublexus and members agree about the sound being not normal...He was just like i cannot do anything about the sound since it sounds normal to him and lexus rep!!

I noticed that I also have the sound both you guys are having,its very minimal but similar.
I did not have it before but heard it just today.....I have 4000 miles and had the car since march 08 (I drive it 1-2 times a wk).
Could it be from not driving it often?

Ok here's my video. You'll hear the tapping sound by the wheel. When I open the engine hood, you'll hear the normal direct inject sound, however if you listen closely, you can hear the tapping as well.

My car does not make that sound at all. From my days building and destroying Detroit V-8s, it sounds like a rod bearing knock. Have you ever thought about an engine oil analysis to see if there is excessive bearing or other metal being shed?

I agree sound is very bad...People come up to my car and they are like your car is making some strange noise!! I am still waiting for the lexus rep to get back to me..I will probably make a dvd for that video and play that in the car and let them hear it.
