It is never pleasurable to perceive a sound you don’t know anything about and comes from your car. So what if you determine a noise that continues in the cabin of your Lexus UX? It is highly plausible that this is a minor problem, but before being sure of that, it is better to do some checks. Our team has made this article to help you find and solve this cabin noise.

Reasons that can cause noise in the passenger cabin of your Lexus UX
I experience plastic rattling noises on the dashboard Lexus UX
One of the plausible explanations that can make a plastic rattling noise in your Lexus UX is that your dashboard, following a repair or vibrations suffered during its lifetime, it may have fasteners that have come loose or unscrewed. Try to establish the particular place of this plastic rattling noise on Lexus UX and using your vehicle’s technical manual try to verify the tightness of all the screws concerned. Otherwise take your car to your technician.
I feel noises in the cabin Lexus UX
The second most common possibility of a cabin noise in your Lexus UX is that some elements that come apart may be loose, either because of too frequent disassembly that would have reduced the holding between these parts, or because of vibrations. Think about examining your ceiling light which is often the reason of a cabin noise on Lexus UX. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the origin of the noise and verify all the openings, covers that are installed there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving. In most cases putting them back in place or gluing them is enough to resolve the problem.
I encounter door noises on my Lexus UX
If you feel a plastic noise on the doors of your Lexus UX, it is plausible that it is one of your door trim fasteners that is destroyed, or a screw from an internal mechanism of the glass for example or the loudspeaker that has unscrewed and therefore causes the part in question to rub against the door interior. Feel free to take apart your door trim to find the source of this plastic door noise on Lexus UX. For more info on door noises on Lexus UX, feel free to read this article.
I perceive a cabin noise when hot Lexus UX
If, on the other hand, you feel cabin noises in your Lexus UX when summer starts or when the outside temperature is warm, it is unfortunately rational that this problem manifests itself more during these periods. Indeed, plastic being a rather flexible material will expand with heat and will therefore much more easily rub on other plastic or metal parts, this is what will induce cabin noises when hot on your Lexus UX. It is difficult to solve this problem, you can always look for the exact origin of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding units to limit their noise from their expansion.
