Fan noise
Ever since I got my c36 and I think I even remember this being the case with the previous owner I have noticed that whenever the key is turned so that the car's electrical circuits are active the fan comes on and is very loud. It sounds like I just hopped in part of the lustwaffe. The fan works fine to my knowledge and the engine temperature stays very cool even in our insanely hot summers so I just kind of got used to it and tune it out. But other people mention it quite often asking if something is wrong. Just a couple nights ago I did realize it is pretty damn loud when I could still faintly hear the fan when the car was parked in the street in front of the house and I was sitting in the living room with all doors and windows of the house closed.
So I am asking if anyone else's radiator fans are insanely loud, is this indicative of an issue or is mercedes-benz merely paying tribute to the days when they made the engines for zepplins...?

the fans are loud but if they r always on even on first start of the day then u better check the harness
in our cars if the ecu sences an open cercuit in the wires of the water temp sensor it activates the fans as a safety measure since it cant tell if the engine is hot or cold.
