Do you have many Squeaks/Rattles ?

'04, 60k miles, no squeaks or rattles
I had a really annoying rattle in the rear of the car for about 2 months. Then I realized it was my stupid license plate frame making the noise. Pitched that sucker in the trash.
Now I'm back to being rattle-free.
EDIT: I'm somewhat surprised at the number of people indicating that they have some sort of abnormal noise (especially those that have a newer truck with less mileage). Very interesting.

04 40k, miles. 2 rattles.
On the trunk hatch, there is a little panel right in the middle. That vibrates, and makes a pretty annoying sound. I put duct tape on the edges and that fixed it...for awhile. And 2, the tray that opens up on the driver armrest console.
Other than those 2, she is solid!

I randomly get a squeaking noise in the instrument panel and the driver side window seal.

oh, heh, sorry...the T4R has as many as a 93 Chevy Blazer!

I've had rattles in my dash, passenger front door, driver's front door, and the right side of the cargo area (near the subwoofer).
I had all of them looked at and fixed by the dealer within the first 12-18 months of ownership. I know a lot of folks here decide not to have the dealer look at the rattles (for fear that they'll make it worse), but my expectation for a new $30K+ vehicle is that it'll be rattle-free.
I recently rode in a Lexus RX (an '07) and was surprised at the number of rattles I heard coming from the empty cargo area. It's possible, though, that the rattle was from the metal license plate frame from the dealer.

Ive got a few that are driving me crazy. Been doing it for the last 20,000 or so miles (its got just over 40,000 now). I sold my last car(isuzu rodeo) because I couldnt handle all the squeaking and rattling. The runner isnt quite as bad but there are times I think about getting rid of it just for this reason...which is sad becasue its a great car otherwise.
My 04 has just over 76k miles now and the sunroof has rattled since I first bought it. I also have an occasional rattle that comes from the dash area near the center speaker--gets really annoying sometimes. It's a shame that Toyota put such a cheap interior in an otherwise fantastic vehicle. Still, this is unquestionably the best SUV in its class. Even with the squeaks and rattles, no other manufacturer is making anything that can compete!

I wonder if the Lexus GX rattles?

The dealer replaced both items under warranty. I'm not sure what was broken on the center console for them to replace it. The drivers seat was a mess. I brought it in 3 or 4 times for the drivers seat. They finally replaced the entire seat. Once that occurred no more pops, squeaks and clicks in the car. All under the Toyota 36/36 warranty.
