Any chance of you bringing the car in and taking it for a ride with either a tech or an advisor in the car WITH YOU?

Same thing happened with my GS350. The tech heard the noise during road test. He said it could be a strut mount.
Replace the struts and strut mounts. Noise went away. The car had 130K miles at the time.

Well, at least the service dept will (should) have a record of the noise.

How were you able to get your camera to stay put while driving lol?

On the serious note, jack up the affect wheel and wiggle it all directions for any free play.
