Exclamation Strange noises in cabin

I am reposting this on the proper message board (sorry!).. My 2013 C63 started doing something very odd - it started emitting sounds inside the cabin that sounded like feedback.. I use the bluetooth feature constantly so I thought perhaps my "smart" phone was affecting the system, so I relocated it... it still made the weird shrieks accompanied by a popping noise. I turned off the (stock) stereo and prepared to make a six hour road trip in silence.. It still made the noises, even with the stereo off. As it happened, I hit a stretch of interstate where the sun shone through the trees and into the cabin - I saw smoke wafting up from the front passenger's footwell. After stopping, shutting off the car, then restarting her I turned around and headed home. The noises returned although not as frequent. I am stumped... I had just spent thousands having the cam chain tensioners replaced along with a major service at a Mercedes dealer and I hate to think what the bill would be if I took the car to them again. I am a powersports dealer so I am all too familiar with chasing intermittent electrical gremlins. Any ideas?

Is the blower motor working correctly? Almost sounds like it could be an electric motor whining it's way towards death.
Pretty sure it's above the passenger footwell.

maybe get the car scanned for codes if you think its electrical. Or if you know someone with a FLIR camera to look for hotspots might help trace the problem.
