Strange sound through front speakers
Hi all,
Here's a weird one... I sometimes get a strange sound play through the front speakers of my Burmeister that ping-pongs from left to right but goes away after a while. The actual sound itself is similar to an oldschool CD stacker changing CDs. Does any one get this as well?
Thanks in advance.

not that it helps, but I sometimes get the same thing on my 2017 GLC 300, stock system. About ~1 minute after starting the car. To me it sounds like the grinding of an electric clock, or something swinging and scraping under the dash. It lasts about 20 seconds.

You're one of the long term owners here you've had your C63 for ages now man nice work. Despite the noise from the speakers are you happy with the car? Curious to what these sounds are too if you can record it

Thankfully I always hear it at the same stoplight, so there's a decent chance.fwiw, my door speaker has been cutting in & out occasionally also. I'm replacing it, but if it stays broken then it may be a nexus pointing to the amplifier being glitchy. It's my understanding there's a chime speaker underneath the driver side dash, and I might possibly be hearing the grinding-clock noises from it.
Unfortunately, the sound is very sporadic, so even if I find & disconnect that speaker, i would never know for sure if that stopped the noise unless I left it disconnected for a very long time.

I'll do what I can, if i remember to pull my phone out before driving off Thankfully I always hear it at the same stoplight, so there's a decent chance.

That shuffling sound is not the speakers it's actually the air vents that is switching on and off, I don't think you can control it the car will do it everytime especially if you have your AC on auto. You can try switching air vent direction from top to only come out of bottom and see if you hear that same sound.

I tried cycling my vent systems on purpose, and for a short time it created a very similar sound. But promptly it went away.
Now I suspect it's the computer getting funky with the vents very shortly after starting the car?
