Newbie here
I just purchased a 2008 GS 350 with the Mark Levinson sound system and I hear an intermittent buzzing sound from the front speaker in the dash. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

If that only happens while playing the music, then it sounds like a blown speaker.
You can go into the audio setting and move the sound to the left/right and front/back
to isolate which speaker is causing the buzzing. Afterwards, you'll have to open that area
and visually examine/test the speaker.
Recently, while trying to repair the power rear shade, I discovered that my subwoofer had blown.
Most of the time, it's the outer edge foam material that just breaks down due to the age,
which was the case for my subwoofer, and you might be in the same situation.
I also had to figure out how to remove the rear seats and the rear deck to get at the subwoofer.
The good news is I was able to find the exact matching size repair kit foam for under $20,
and just fixed it 2 days ago and it sounds great again. I'll upload the video over the weekend.
Lastly, it'll help to put a better title than "newbie here".

So the better title would've been "buzzing noise coming from front dash speaker".
