You had it a whole month and only one problem, you should be happy. I'm assuming you got it used and the last person sold it because of all the problems. I'm going through the same think on my kids SLK, one $800 level problem per month, thank goodness I've been able to fix each one on the cheap. At least yours is under warranty.

I figured that with your list of cars. I was just messin' with you. Buellwinkle may be right on this one, but it would be easier if you had an audio clip of it. If you can't get that, I'd say bring it to the dealership if it's still under warranty and just ask them if you can take them around to hear the noise.
