I have needed to phone Lexus Bournemouth recently but no matter how many messages I leave I never get a call back. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Problem solved - peace and quiet restored! Many thanks for all replies, particularly PMR and pobrown who put me on the right track. The culprit was indeed the Dash Cam that the dealer persuaded me to have fitted. The answer is in the Dash Cam settings, accessed through your phone, where the start up and shut down racket can be muted. Thanks again. This owners' forum is a terrifice resource to solve problems.As an aid to others who may experience the same problem, I've attached here a video of the noise before it was suppressed. 20191104_084810_272234244830396_(1).mp4

Thanks Tony. I have just sent an email to My Lexus and hope for a swift reply. Interesting that you don't have the same problem and gives me hope that mine can be easily sorted. Cheers.

I took delivery of a new 300h Takumi three weeks ago. Unlike my previous 300h Premier, it makes this awful noise on startup and shutdown. I presume the car now thinks it's a computer and therefore has to make bongs and bings to tell us it's alive. However both my wife and I find it very irritating as it happens every time the car is started or turned off. I've searched the manual but can't find anything about silencing this noise. Can anyone out there help?
