That sounds a LOT to me like the noise is resulting from your tires....the tread is just on the harder side as compared to other types of tread that are softer and quieter. Generally the sound would get louder as your speed increases. Its hard to describe, but if its from the tires, the sound will be like that of a an electric generator, that higer-pitched sort of noise, maybe louder. If it still continues to bug you though, you might want to take it to the dealer and JUST ASK them what they think about the problem. With a question in this area though, they will tend to come up with all sorts of "repairs" your car would need so be careful and always ask for a second opinion if its major. Hope Ive been able to help at all.

BTW, I have the following tires: Dunlop sp2000.

I have Yokohama AVS Sports and a leak in the mid-pipe of the exchaust. I would say 50% of the noise is the tires and other 50% is the exchaust. Intake is loud too, but only when sitting on the gas pedal.

PS. What pattern are these tires?

True, it cooould be this, but that wouldnt be nearly the same kind of sound. That would resemble more of a whisper, not a roar (I could be misinterpreting the noise though as I cant hear it in person), also, do you have a wind deflector in front of your sunroof 007lexus?

No wind deflector infront of sunroof.

If you are talking about the weather strip on the door, it should cost no more than $30.
