Default Engine drone

Hi everyone,
I have a 2015 Lexus rx350 and a 2013 Toyota Venza. Both of these vehicles have this annoying drone sound at certain low RPMs. On my Venza, it occurs at exactly 1700 rpm and it is a pain to bear that sound and vibration. After reading all the posts, I don't understand one thing- where exactly should I place these rubber clamps, and how many of them I should use. I just took a quick picture underneath my car and it seems to have one of those rubber mount thingys. Where do I place these parts?

Thank you very much!

Is yours a 4thGen? I believe they are the ones with the drone/vibration. And the fix is to place one of those rubber dampers on like you already have.

This has been covered in the thread linked below. Start reading at post 78, until at least 88 as both have photos of where to install the dampers. The read on until 105 for more info, install tips and more photos of the dampers.
2 dampers work better than one, but one alone does help.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...e-sound-6.html
