If it's the sound I'm thinking of (whch happens after parking, within 2 to 3 minutes maybe), it's normal. I think it's mentioned in the owner's manual, or maybe I'm thinking of my service manual....pretty sure I read about it somewhere anyway.

Strange thing...
Our 2008 RX400h started making strange noises too about a week or so ago, which seem to be from the braking system. It only occurs during use of the vehicle. It typically will make the sounds (like it's releasing pressure) when at a stop at a light or stop sign. I am taking it in to my local Lexus dealership to have it diagnosed (under warranty). Let's see what they see.

Sorry for the late post. The culprit was a bad brake actuator. It was under warranty but if paid out of pocket, it was something in the range of $1800 parts & labor.
