Does your dashboard make noises?

I got mine fixed last year (I'd have to look back at my old posts - I think it was a TSB having to do with clips). The repair is still holding for me. There were plenty of cold mornings last year, and there have been enough this year.
When it's cold my dashboard never has rattled or squeaked, but I think it once muttered something anti-Semitic to me. I haven't gotten it checked out, but I guess I'm more aware that my car is a little racist.

I live in Windsor Ontario where it can get cold. My 2007 GS 350 had dasboard rattles , and I took it into the dealership on 3 occasions. After the third try last spring, I awaited for the cold weather. Well the cold is here now and the dash does not rattle. I am now a happy Lexus owner.

I also had my resolved by the dealer at no charge. I was initially worried about them pulling the entire dash . . . but they did a great job. I had mine resolved a year ago and the dash has been dead quiet ever since.

Yes, started a year ago during winter months & the car is very cold. Somewhat of a droning type noise as the heater begins trying to kick-in as the car engine warms up. When the engine warms up, the noise is gone. Usually last less than 5 minutes. Had the dealership keep the car overnight last winter, but they could not recreate (naturally). I even had them keep the car an extra night & went to the dealership & started the car with a mechanic after the car sat out in the cold overnight. The car was parked on a decline slop vs level & (of course) the noise did not happen. May try to have them check it out again this week, as I begin having them try to repair other quirks before the warranty expires in Feb.
Hehe u guys are lucky both my dash, rear deck/winshield, and driver side door make wether it's cold or not. Gonna bring into the dealer tommorrow to get it tab fixed. o well I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles haha
OK, finally heard the rattle noise - only happens when I drive over the very poorly paved/bump roads in crummy neighborhoods.
On most roads and freeway, no noise. So sounds like there is a potential for noise.
