Thumpy buzzing behind dashboard
I own a 2001 GS300 that I purchased brand new. Among it's other ailments, the one that is bothering me lately is this noise behind the dash that started happening about two weeks ago. I recorded it and it lasts about 15 secs after starting the engine. At first I thought it was the ignition and that had me worried. My immediate question is does this sound like something I have to rush to get repaired? It sounds worrisome. Also, there has been a softer clicking buzz more towards the center of the dash that's been happening off and on for a long time. Each time I have the car serviced, I ask them to check for it but because it's not predictable no one has been able to tell me what it is. However, this latest sound is happening every time I start the engine. Thanks for you input!: egads:

Mr.Jokester, I don't know if it's the brake booster adjusting. It never happened before 2 weeks ago. But I'll try what you suggest, although I've never heard any noise when stepping on the brake. As you said, SonicMotor, the buzz is sort of violent and lasts about 15 seconds.

Please make an audio/video clip, I'm curious
Yea, normally you shouldnt hear it. Mine began going nuts a few years ago. I assume the gear is old and worn on mine. Sometimes it gets violent but most of the time its normal and then gets violent at its end point of adjustment.

The servo is about $100 bucks, do some searching on the install. Heres a DIY thread for the passenger side servo, I believe theres a link for the driver side one somewhere in this tread:
