I have some weird ticking/rattling noise comming from rear passenger area (probably the door panel), anybody experienced similar issues?any idea?
I had noises in that area on both the driver and passenger sides, with the passenger side being the worse of the two. I talk about it a little in this post.
Yup! I finally fixed this annoying issue! It's coming from the rear doors where the plastic trim touches the door frame and it gets worse in warmer days. I was able to fix the issue by putting some soft plastic between the gap. Check the attached photo. It was a temporary fix till I went to my dealership and FORCED them to test drive the car and put some felt around the trims. The technicians in Lexus of Calgary believe these kinds of noises are normal in a ~$65K CAD car and will come and go with changes in temperature))))) I also have some buzzing noise coming from the seatbelt height adjuster's button and I was able to fix the noise by putting some flex tape between the button and its cover. I thought a new Lexus would be a high-quality comfortable car but ... and I'm sure it's not only my car's issue. I drove two other loaner NX 350 2023 and both of them had so many interior rattle noises coming from the B-pillar area and dashboard! it should be a recall case in my opinion.
Thanks for that. Mine has also developed this little buzzy rattle on both rear doors, as mentioned by others, for some reason the passenger side is worst. I've been debating whether to attempt a fix myself, before the car's next inspection which will likely be in late August. I might try your temp solution as well.
Same issue here. It's the speaker panel. Have someone drive to create the noise and press in on that panel and it goes away. I complained about it on the 5000 service and they claim they did something but it still buzzes. I've been going to my mechanic for recent oil changes, but for the 30k oil change, I'll probably have to bring it to the dealer again.
I had the buzzing sound by the seatbelt adjust as well...it seems to have gone away with the warmer weather. Our Gen 2 NX is much quieter than our Gen 1, which we nicknamed "Squeaky". Lots of rattles, particularly around the dash.

I thought that too but when you push the speaker panel, you actually stop the door's plastic trim from vibrating and hitting the door panel. if you can hear the same kind of noise, %90 should be in the same area. just put some soft plastic pieces there. If you find the exact location they will accept the fix otherwise you'll get your invoice with "was not able to duplicate the noise" on it.

I got my suv back after couple weeks. I think the rattle is gone from the driver side at least for now FINALLY. I am not sure if I am being picky at this point on anything else after driving the ES350H loaner. Wow, I think that probably has one of the most quietest luxurious interior. I noticed that the newer NX is not as luxurious.
Though, I am wondering if there is a rattle potential near the seatbelt adjuster actually. It comes and goes randomly, though its not as much of an issue as the dashboard rattle.
Seems that the rattle is back near the vent area from the dash. Any suggestions? I am waiting till my suv comes back from the bodyshop from a rear ended accident to get lexus to address the dash.
In my case, it's the armrest that creaks. I push on it a little bit and it's creaking, so while driving if my arm is on it, it will creak at every opportunity. At least it's very easy to reproduce. We'll see what the dealer does...

Figured this one out. Actually, both driver and passenger sides were creaking! It was right where the plastic panel meets the door frame, squeaking when it rubbed. I squirted a little WD-40 on it and the squeak disappeared. I expect it to come back when the WD-40 dries off, will have to figure out a more lasting lubricant.
Just got my suv back after couple of weeks. He believes he finally solved the rattles. The dealership was pretty awesome and addressed all the issues I had without a hitch.
1. Driver's side mirror finally replaced.
2. Door had a weird squeak and they noted that there was some gap to the frame, so the master tech did his magic there to resolve that. Seems rock solid now.
3. Wireless charger was updated and now works for my new phones without a hitch.
4. Dash rattle is now completely gone. He isolated it to the steering column cover of all places. He removed the steering column cover and it disappeared. He then put it back and heard it, so they added some noise isolation stuff and now it resolved.
5. battery died and they were confused why. Replaced it with no charge. All in all lexus took good care of me.
