No, this is a known issue. There is a fix that will require taking the console out and putting some felt tape or other material around it.

I have a rattle sounds like the passenger door that just started around 4K miles in my 2016 GS. Happens over rough spots. About to take it in for my 5k maintenance. I have 3 items, the rattle, the seat that moves to easy exit even though that option is turned off and the intermittent wiper that does not work.

My 2003 GS had rattles when cold that the dealer could not fix.

SNiiP3R is correct. Here is the associated topic with the fix & a great DIY video by our fellow board member ItzFilyO.

Attempting to do this on my own car since I notice it at very high volumes/deep bass songs.

Mine is still quiet by the way, ever since I did that video. Loud bass, no problem.

I have different strange sound in cabin. 2016 GS300h, ODO circa 9000km. During slight acceleration with petrol engine, there is sound similar to concrete wall drilling, somewhere in central console. Maybe it is from driveshaft vibration, because more the load the more pronounced it is. I have no rattles while driving, but the door panel squeaks when i pull handle. There is also sometimes squeaking under drivers seat, noticeable in sharp turns. I usually drive short trips without music so i can hear everything, especially on our terrible holey bumpy roads (bumpy also after fixing)

Crazy annoying issue, dealer fixed it under warranty by shaving some stuff and putting felt on some other stuff. Noise is finally gone and i can turn my radio up past 18 now.

Ty ItzFilyO for your awesome videos! It took me literally 5 minutes to fix the driver's side window door switch rattle "issue" (more of an "annoyance") thanks to you.

Appreciate all of your help sir,
