Helicopter noise on Mercedes C230?
Hello, I’m on here trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong with my car?
So basically I’m not sure how long this has been going on for I just recently noticed but it seems as my car when on and parked idle it’ll make the helicopter noise I couldn’t really tell where the sounds was coming but from my guess sounded more from the back seat. Sometimes it’ll make the noise when driving too but not so much it’s mainly when parked and idle you can really hear the noise.
Any ideas as to what it could be ? I’m 18 and don’t know too much about cars so I’m trying to get to the bottom of it and see if it’s something serious before I take it somewhere.

If your car isn't moving (wheels spinning) then there should be no noise. The only thing moving back there would be the fuel pump.
Are you sure the noise is from the back seat? Might want to pop the hood and do a walkaround with the car parked and engine idling.
