do you have a buzz on your dash?

If anyone with a CL would do this and give me feedback I would really appreciate it. I have a high pitched buzz that is in my car, barely audible, but I am very sensitive to the frequency. I have traced it to the instrument cluster lights. When its on, I hear this faint buzz... its like when you turn on a tube TV, there is that 15Khz buzz, I have it in my car.

Would you guys please let me know if your car does this? After you shut it off, wait for a second til the dash lights go out... put your ear close to the cluster and you will hear it... does your car make this annoying noise? or is it just mine? I am wondering if the dealer will fix this under warranty but they may think I am nuts.

Its as if someone is constantly whistling in my ear... it gets tiring on long drives.

Thanks.

Hello AMG2GO!
Have you resolved this issue, and if yes, how?

After a recent repair of ABC 2 weeks ago, I noticed mine is doing the same thing. After I turn off the key, the buzz starts. Turning back ignition, opening/closing doors or whatever else I might have tried, didn't work. Eventually it stops, but not before several minutes of buzzing...

???

Nope, not here either, I don't think what you are hearing is normal.

For those who might have the same issue - I took the car to the dealer this morning... Turned out this buzzing noise was coming from aspirator motor at AC module. According to the invoice, the work involved was to replace the whole ACC pushbutton control module, since aspirator motor is not available separately. Warranty covered it.

my car does the same thing i brought in in for abc issues and my cruise control doesnt match my speedometer and since then i now have this noise. it's actually back there now and they supposably can't hear it. I dont know how these people are technicians and I can figure things out that they can't.
