Thanks for your information. I am going to wait till my next service is due to inform my Toyota dealer of the prob. I called Toyota direct, and they also knew nothing of the problem, and told me that there are no recalls on it. So, it looks like we are both in the same boat, haha. I am tempted to try out another 4Runner to see if I hear the noise, but I don't have the money or the heart to trade the one I have. Keep me posted if you come up with any more information. I will let you know how I make out.
