Hi Guys,

I am new here, pardon me for any errors. I just bought a used lexus is 250 (2010) with 140k miles on it. It was running great but had rattling sound from the struts. After suggestion from @lexuspoker, Thankfully, I got new struts and that rattling noise is fixed.
Need your guys help with couple of issues

1. Engine noise when I step on gas: Technician also replaced air filters when I did the struts. After this service appt, I started to notice this weird engine sound when i press gas initial 0-40. Before it used to run real smooth like how a lexus would. This is really bothering me lol Any advice, what might be causing this ? Heres a video of it,
2. Crackling sound : This comes up randomly but frequently. It sounds like if u rubbing two aluminum foil sheets. I have hard time explaining it to the technician. Took these videos before struts got replaced. could this be because of water pipe or something else ?
3. Crack sound from centre console - I am going to follow these instructions here. hopefully it helps,

I hope i can fix these and enjoy my not so new car
