What is Toyota doing about the rediculous door panel noise?

    i know it's been mentioned on here before but a search did not yield any results.

    The amount of panel noise is rediculous for a vehicle made in 2017. Has Toyota acknowledged it or willing to fix it? It sounds like I have loose marble in my passenger door panel. I expect much more out of a $30k truck.

    Toyota will say "This is normal."

    OP, has a 2017. Is that one for a 2nd gen?

    The kazoo sound at speed? Not sure what the OP is talking about either. Not sure what marbles sound there is. First I've read about it.

    The kazoo sound is what made me overlook the year, my 2014 makes the kazoo sound in a strong head or cross wind

    First I've heard of it, but likelihood of Toyota doing anything about "trim noise" is slim. Have you tried talking to the dealership for a fix?

    The second gen is invincible. According to Smitty. Try again.

    A little confused here, OP said it sounds like a marble rolling around in her door yet we're talking about fixing the kazoo noise, which is it because to me the sounds would be very different. A marble rolling around in the door should be easy to isolate, take the door apart and find the loose item: the kazoo noise means replacing the current door seal with a better one.

    OP- can you provide more detail about the noise? Constant noise? Road conditions have any bearings?

    And, have you asked the dealer to take a listen?

    I think someone here would be able to offer some help/ advice.

    Good luck

    God, I'm glad my 06 doesn't whistle, wheeze, rattle, clank, hum, kazoo, or marble! It just starts up and runs...
    And yes, it's an 11 year old truck with 152K on it, so it's NOT as quiet or as soft riding as a Lexus...

    Great! They'd probably love this on the second gen boards...

    Additionally, if you have or know somebody with an air compressor, see if you can recreate it at will while sitting still and aiming the blow chuck around the door spaces - likely near the top where it bends from going up to going parallel with the ground, that bend is where mine seems to come from.
