What is that sound?
When I turn off my C320 Coupe, I hear a short whirring (small motor) sound for maybe 3-4 seconds. It sounds like the old power antenna on other cars as they retract when you turn off the car. What is this???

He won't have an easy time finding it, IMO.... I believe it's the motors repositioning the internal vent dampers for the climate control to prepare for the next starup. Something about a "50%" position I believe. I think Lynn answered this eons ago...
