The noise Jimmy_c63s and George_1992 experienced is similar to what us C43 owners experienced:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...-thoughts.html
I also heard this noise on a 2019 E450, given the hardware differences with the C63s rear diff and the C43, I doubt this is the cause. If you want to take it to the dealership, tell them to put the car in dyno mode on a hoist and the noise is easily reproduced (as if or not they say it is normal, it is up to the dealership) (that being said, this only applies if the noise is coming from your rear diff like us C43 guys)

Sounds identical to described in the C43 topic!! It confuses me cos some other C43 guys saying they changed their diff and the noise was still there 😟😟😟

Thanks buddy.......... gosh just another issue to deal with.......... so when you say you heard the noise on a E450 was that a loaner car or brand new?

I didn't test it with windows down however. I too was dealing with this on my C43, the noise is still present on my car after one rear diff replacement. The dealership I worked with refused to work with me further so I just accepted this as something "normal". I guess when you think of it as a characteristic of your car you would feel better, reminding you that you didn't get the base C300.
As for others posted there, there was one that had the differential replaced for 5 times or so before ending up with one that has no noise.
I forgot to mention, I also test drove a 2020 C43 and it too have this problem because at one point I was deciding if I should get a facelift.
Here is another thread but this time facelift (although OP in that thread describes a different problem alongside this problem he faces)

I know what noise you are talking about. But in my case, it does not happen on lift off. It happens when I actually press the brakes at 60mph and there is an weight transfer to the front. The noise matches bang on with what you are describing.
But here is the thing, my car never made that noise before my first track day. This started after a track day for me. So I kind off thought that is the front tires that are making this sound. It almost sounds like a bad wheel bearing, but then again a bad wheel bearing will while all the time at all speeds, and the whine will actually get progressively worse with time.
Also this sound comes from the front 100%, so I would not put it on the differential. I got this sound for a couple of days after my track day and now it is totally gone again.

I read through that C43 topic and seems the only thing that fixed it was a specially balanced drive shaft huh.......... man i guess I can live with it as long as the car doesn't blow up and leave me stranded
Munis that is weird. Not sure why that happened to you haha but glad it's gone. Did yours sound like blowing over a bottle top too? 🤔🤔🤔

A year later, car still seems to be running well 🤷♀️
This almost inaudible whine sound is like the sound of a bad ground on stereo speakers. Same sort of frequency but a lot quieter and more mechanical so to speak.
Being the paranoid type I started looking at replacement diffs and getting quotes here and there.
I still wonder if anyone else hears this in their cars, too?

The whine noise comes dead on at exactly 69mph (111-112kmh) only. Never any time else

Accelerate to above 40mph, ideally 50, 60, then release the gas pedal.
Ideally, a downhill road+slightly turn left, those conditions combined makes the noise most noticeable.
The noise frequency is like "Ooo...Ooo...Ooo..." and the lasting and interval of "Ooo..." is highly related to speed. So when I release the gas pedal, the car slows down gradually, the frequency also changes accordingly. It disappears under 35mph.
Sometimes I could even feel subtle vibration with the noise. Some people describe it as "Engine brake noise", that's exactly how I feel it.
I'm so frustrated, anyone got any idea if there is any solution for this? Took the car to the dealer 3 times already

Wanted to ask you all, when travelling highway speeds over 60mph (100kmh) and letting off the gas pedal to coast, do you guys hear a very slight "woooooo" sound when decelerating? It's not a bothersome noise, sounds like it's a transmission sound. It's been there ever since new.
It's barely noticeable if you're listening to music etc but it's there.
When you accelerate it'll go away. Anyone else notice it?

Some of our cars make this noise, others don't. Either way, it's nothing to worry about mate, just a characteristic and it will not cause a problem.
I've had this noise since brand new and my car will be 7 years old in September.

A full differential rebuild later plus a Drexler LSD installed and this whine is still present in my C63 Coupe.
So if anyone else has this noise PLEASE don't shell out on a new diff just yet.
Once again the noise for me is present at 70kmh to 74kmh AND 110kmh to 112kmh when foot is on the throttle or coasting (as long as I'm at those exact speeds). No other times.
It's got to be driveline related and it's harmless but can get on your nerves every once in a while...
That's my update.

Still on the same problem. Exactly same speed like yours.
MB Germany says it is known and a new differential is no guarantee that the problem is solved they said. Also changing drivetrain could also help a bit.. Don't know.
Living with it at the moment.
What tires are you on?

Gets on my nerves yet at times it doesn't seem as loud but other times it's noticeable. I'm on stock sized coupe tires Michelin PS4S (255-35-19 front and 285-30-20 rears)
Does yours sound faint? Like a slight hooo sound at those speeds?
#38
Hey 😄
Strange that we exactly share the same problem at same speeds 😄
Yes it makes a hoo hoo sound. And I've got also ps4s with same sizes and 20s rear.
Do you have the Mercedes gtr alloy wheels?
BTW : it is louder on the passenger seat to hear.
I can really feel your pain. Maybe it's something completely different?

Yes it's also from that direction I hear it more from the rear passenger seat side when I am driving 😂
How funny we have the exact same sound. I will try to record it this weekend and post the sound it's just very faint to record. Then we can 100% confirm we are wooo brothers

Hey man sorry but that's nothing to do with this topic, that's your exhaust flap(s). Please help us out by keeping it on topic (that's not the whining sound we are trying to figure out).

what effects does a bad exhaust flap have on the car? Limp mode? Check engine light?
