    Your first video has different sounds than the second two.
    First video has non engine sounds (but maybe it's just the microphone getting jostled?).
    Second two videos seem to be just engine noise. Which as other have noted, seems normal.
    My 2019 had the wheel well flap noise, but it sounded different in the cabin. Less like it was squeaking, more like it was flapping or maybe whistling.

    It is not. It comes from the front of the truck.

    Seafoam makes a nice kit for gas tank and throttle body cleaner with a wand you can stick in your intake boot while running. I still like visual and rag with brush.

    Here is another video I got from this morning on a cold engine. Is this the same noise you’re referring to? It is pretty pronounced about 10 seconds into the video and is better heard in the footwell below the steering wheel.

    Can anyone confirm if this is normal for a cold engine with 14k miles? The noise goes away after the engine warms up (about 5-6 minutes of driving)

    Cold start injection system I was told. Mine sounds the same and when it gets hot it's a quiet little mouse.

    I just put the TRD exhaust off my 2023 on a guys 2019 SR5, I was just tired of the drone. I drove his a couple blocks afterward and was shocked how much quieter it was than my 2023. If mine had sounded like his I never would have got rid of the exhaust. I could barley hear it, and there was much less motor/outside noise. Toyota must have gone to thinner glass and insulation lately, I mean it was obvious.
