I hear the whistle noise as well after a cold start. But after driving for a couple minutes I no longer hear it.

After several rounds of driving with all media off, I noticed a very annoying 'flapping' noise coming from back of driver side at 45mph above. It sounds like something at the back door has come lose. I checked the back door carefully but could not find anything that's. Can't say that I am worry but somewhat disappointed that a new Lexus would have this problem.
If I can't figure this out by next week, I probably will bring it to dealership; however, I am worry if the dealer would care to look into this small problem.

I don't have this noise. Consider checking the license plate or loose mud flap (if equipped?) With some wind turbulence generated at the back at higher speed, it could be the contributing factor. For the plate, as a best practice even if it's not the issue, consider sticking on rubber/felt tape behind the plate to absorb any minor impacts (and noises) to the rear hatch.

thank you for all the inputs.
the whistle noise still exist no matter how long we drive the car, it just not as bad compare to cold start.
i guess the wind noise is normal for this car.
still hear the fuel splashing around when we have around half a tank.

Yeah the gas splashing around at 1/2 tank to full tank is REALLY REALLY ANNOYING. I turn up the radio so I dont hear it, then I hear the damn tag rattling. It is almost like there are no baffles in the gas tank at all.

I too have noticed the #1 noise from driver window at >45MPH. I did not have that sort of noise in my 2006 IS250. I have also noticed the fringe coming off the sticking of the steering wheel. I think that is normal and after a while will stop.
I have noticed a clunk in the front end when first starting out and then stepping on the brakes. sound like lower control arms or steering linkage.
