Great job capturing the sound, I have been chasing this for a while now and still haven’t found an answer. I agree with earlier comments that the noise is more prominent with hotter outside temps and bumpy roads, but I hear it all the time now unless I’m on the highway.

• Loose hood prop – no luck
• Hood acoustic shield, added foam to isolate – no luck
• Firewall heat shield and foam from this thread “Odd rattle on driver's side - can't tell where it's from.” – no luck so far

Our 4th gen is rattle free, so this is aggravating.

ive noticed that the noise is only audible during the first few minutes of driving on local roads. when i get on the highway the noise goes away, even when getting back off the highway.

I see the same thing, usually mostly present right after taking car out for first time that day. The noise does seem to go away after driving for awhile. Didn't have the noise for first 3000 miles, now it comes and goes daily.

What would it take to get a TSB going?

TSB's are issued by the manufacturer, we don't have control over that. I guess we can all complain to Toyota corporate? Might go to the dealer tomorrow but I doubt they can do anything. Rattles are like a death sentence because they are usually not diagnosable
