All 1 Known Issues
On the 2018-2025 Lexus LC, the LC500 V8 produces a prominent exhaust drone in the 1,800-2,200 RPM range, which corresponds to 65-80 MPH highway cruising in the 10-speed automatic. The drone is a resonance issue where exhaust frequency coincides with cabin structural resonance, creating a low-frequency hum that becomes fatiguing on long highway drives.
Common Symptoms
- Low-frequency humming at highway cruising speeds
- Drone occurs specifically at 1,800-2,200 RPM
- Noise reduces in Sport mode at higher RPM
- Fatiguing cabin resonance on long drives
How to Fix
Install aftermarket exhaust resonators or a Helmholtz resonator to cancel the drone frequency. Some owners have had success with Dynamat sound deadening material applied to the trunk floor and rear firewall. Switching to Sport mode forces lower gears and higher RPM that avoids the drone window.
