No, this isn't normal. You should have NO rattles. However, it is sometimes difficult to pin down exactly where the rattle is actually coming from. Check that your seatbelt buckle isn't twisted and making contact with the hard plastic. Also, it's been reported that the grab handle above the driver's head and to the left makes noise. Push in on the door panel and see if it's loose around the speaker cover. Let us know how you make out.

Yea whenever I hear the rattle I push the door panel an the rattle disappears. But i also have a seat belt buzzing noise and the grab handles rattles so if you can help with those it will be greatly appreciated. I do plan on going to the dealer to pick my touch up so I'll have them look at it.

Sounds like the speaker itself may not be totally secured inside the panel or maybe a panel clip is broken. This is why there is a warranty. Let Lexus take it apart and fix it.

Good Luck.
