First off, How many miles on your car? Federal emmissions warranty is 8 years or 80K miles.
Secondly, No those codes are not normal. Did you use MB OEM O2 sensors. If so, then I would check for loose connectors at the ECU.

I would confirm with a dealer that it is under warranty and then take it to them.
If you want to continue on your own then I would reinstall the old O2 sensors and see if your back to original problem.

if you say your cats are making noises they are probably bad and caused your intial codes. if you are unsure then it would be a safe bet to get it diagnosed properly before you start throwing more money into something that may not fix the problem.
