Mine doesn’t make any noise. I do notice that random squeaks/rattles tend to fix themselves as the temperature changes.

There's always a chance they'll take the same route as my VW dealer did when I had a similar issue, and just replace the whole glove box.

With you car being so new, I’d definitely have Lexus try first.

Hi I got an is 500 and am experiencing a similar noise on rough roads. It’s intermittent but has it showed up in cold weather?

Interesting, seems like my noise has gone away since the weather has gotten colder. Maybe two different noises?

Yes, I noticed rattles from the glove box starting in cold weather. And I believe it's a different source based on what he described, mine won't stop either the door open or closed. And I am pretty sure it's from inside the glove box or deeper behind it.
What I did was to felt-tape the shelf and the door in front of the cabin air filter. The remedy eliminates most of the noise but not 100%, I would say still a bit when going on rough roads. I haven't planned on taking in my car to let the dealer take a look at it yet just because of the same concern most of the others mentioned here.

Hope it helps!
