I don't think I have rattles but I never drive without the radio on.

seems like its the seat belt making the rattle sound, look like the adjuster thing for the seat belt is a bit loose u can move up n down a bit.

I'm at the Lexus service dept. now, waiting for the tech to figure out why the driver-side door control panel rattles when music is playing through the speakers. I have a Mark Levinson sound system, but that shouldn't be the cause for the ratting.

Any luck finding the cause?

Found this thread, I know a long time ago. I've only had my care for about one year now. Is there a foam seal or anything that can keep the driver switch pod from vibrating so much while cranking up the ML? So annoying and I feel as though the window switches are going to disintegrate from the speaker pressure!

It's a common issue with the window switches rattling under heavy midbass. I wouldn't bother going to the dealer with it, it's literally a 2 minute fix with some electrical tape.

One of the members here made a tutorial on it.

I still have a rattle. Sounds like it’s coming from the window track or something but the switches were definitely making noise
