Buzzing sound from drivers side dash 2002-RX 300
I have an RX-300 and have a fairly loud buzzing sound coming from behind the dash on the driver's side. It only makes the sound when the engine is running. It does not matter if the car is moving or not.
I made a video so you could hear the sound it was making.

Any help in identifying what this could be would be appreciated.

Mine did something like that when the battery died.

It sounds like a clicking sound of an Audio signal not getting through the Speaker in that location. Just a guess ?? Good Luck !!!

Wow, that's loud and obnoxious. I guess you could start pulling fuses to see if it's electrical.

Pulling Fuses will definitely point to the Device that's emanating the sound when the power to it is removed. That's a way to pinpoint the source, like the Audio System or others. Good Luck, EJ Dossary, EE

Low voltage making relays go nuts... at least that's my bet.

Great idea about pulling fuses. I'll give it a try.
