Has anyone heard this noise sometimes when driving off it sounds like when a cartoon character gets hit in the head. It's like a hollow "toong" sound.

It's coming from the front end of the car. Near the wheels, wheel arch area. It's not loud and can sometimes be replicated after parking the car and pushing down on the front.

This is exactly what it sounds like 😤

In my experience this kind of noise is best left to Mercedes to figure out the solution of. I usually try locating it approximately and replicate it infront of them, and they take care of the rest. For this you need the noise to happen consistently. Find a way to replicate it and take it in to the dealership.

Thanks for the help guys. Will investigate further and report back. Might apply some grease to the wheel hubs as they look a bit crusty. I hate strange noises and sh*t.

Hmmm I've heard the same thumping noise, I thought it was my tires rubbing when my steering wheel was fully turned. Keep us updated if you find out the cause of the noise.

Could it be a broken spring?
