When I had my 2021 ES, the sun visor cover seemed to rattle. Sliding it open seemed to fix the noise. i also massaged/somewhat bent the sunvisor back and both to slightly affect the fit of all the plastics. the noise seemed to go away by doing that. worth a shot

Oh my god... The hatch noise/creak is really bugging me and we haven't figured it out. Has anyone figured out what the noise from the back area is? It seems to only happen when going over uneven surfaces, like driveways for me.

As for the front noise, I only just started to noice this and it does sound like it's coming from the passenger side visor/sunglass area, so I'll check both of these areas. Thanks.

I have a rattle coming from the driver side dash somewhere. Only hear it over rough roads. Any one heard this?

I just bought a new 2024 rx350h 2 weeks ago and noticed the same thing right away. Seems to come from area below steering wheel under the dash only going over rough roads. Still somewhat subtle noise. Removed all items up front, checked visor and sunglass holder as I know sounds can travel, but still hear it. Switched to passenger seat and definitely heard it louder as I put head closer to lower dash. Sounds like something is loose or vibrating under the dash, under steering wheel over rough road bumps. If I figure it out or take to dealership, will update post.

UPDATE: Took it to the dealership yesterday as the sound had gotten worse (sounded like two empty plastic water bottles rubbing against each other). They confirmed noise right away. Said the head unit/navigation display (that sits between the seats on the dash) was rubbing against trim piece below it. They took out the head unit and put in felt which entirely resolved the problem, and I might also add I have the base trim with the smaller display. No noise anymore even on the roughest roads. The display and trim piece below it seem to fit tighter together after the repair when running my finger gently between the screen and lower trim compared with prior to the fix. Here's the repair order below:

Sunglasses for me ... the little space is not lined or covered with any protection so its in essence plastic against plastic. I used a sunglass bag to put my glasses in then into the cubby and the problem was solved.

Same for me for about six months (2023) until I turned the glasses upside down…no more rattles.

Our RX450h+ has a rattle coming from the roof cross brace over the rear seat. It sounded like it was coming from all over, depending on where one's head was held.

Must be similar production date with mine. It's the visor mirror sliding cover; just slide the cover to the open position and stop where you feel resistance.

I do have another 2 slight rattles; it seems it's when I rest my elbow on the driver door, that sounds like it's coming from the back area; and another one on the other elbow on the top of the glove box. Only heard while driving in silence.
