It happens mostly in overcast to rainy weather on FM stations. I noticed it the second day I had the car while driving through a storm but thought it was the radio stations and not the car. On Thursday, during another storm, when I pushed the rear defroster, the radio played static; turn it off and the radio played normal.

In that case, I'd recommend taking it back to the selling dealer. I would think they would fix it on their dime -- was there any kind of warranty?

Just the remainder of the powertrain warranty but the sales manager is a friend. I don't think there will be any problem with the dealer fixing this.

It turns out there is an issue with the rear defroster that is causing interference with the radio. They are replacing the rear window.

Tomgreen1000 - Did you ever get an answer regarding your noise? I just purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry SE and I am hearing a noise only when I first start the car and the vehicle has been driven a few feet - the vehicle has to hit between 7 and 11 mph for the noise to occur. The service tech is saying it is normal. What was your final outcome.

It is almost certainly the ABS self-test; the owner's manual mentions it, and my Camry (2004 model) does this under the conditions you describe.
Welcome to Edmunds by the way; please note you're highly unlikely to receive a response from a post that's almost 7 years old.

Yes, I received a reply. It was too much oil in the engine. I removed 1 1/2 pint of oil from the engine. I am still testing for noise. I think this was the problem.
Overall I like my 2005 LE Camry. The best car I ever own.

Welcome to the club. I have a 2006 Avalon and get the very same noise just after starting to drive the car after it has just been started. Once started you can stop and go forever and not hear the noise but you will hear it every time when starting off for the first time.
The noise varies in intensity from car to car and as you stated the Toyota technicians promise that the noise is part of the Toyota driving experience.
Too bad that Toyota does not still produce the 2000 Avalon (which I still own).
