LOL...or save the $2 dollars and crank up the radio or the blower fan speed and drown it out like the one guy's wife told him to do and posted same on here months ago, cannot find that thread.

I just feel bad, been in that spot and done that and heard all manner of BS on my former ES. 8,000 miles at start of it though that one has me baffled and may be a whole other issue.

 

MD350, as i posted in another thread, my 350 has the exact same characteristics as you just described. I also tested drive another loaner.. same sound. No worry here. This seems to be a common characteristics for the new engine or injector. Once the car warms up, the sound just goes away. I would rather enjoy the driving than nickpicking something minor, sorting out chrome misalignment, distinguishing whisper quiet wind noise from engine noise etc...Get a life, folks. Don't let the car own you. 5 years later, you might well move into another new generation of ES.

 

Without question that approach allows for less stress about a vehicle. It would be neat if nobody was bothered by doors that are not aligned throwing window chrome off, wind noise it may or may not be contributing too and as for the engine, ah, just turn up the radio and the blower setting and drive on not caring what mechanical issue is causing the noise.

A better owning and driving experience for sure if one can ignore those things and certainly less stress here and there in contemplating them.

 

Glad to hear I am not alone, thanks

 

There are at least three of us out here who feel the same way....
