Whining sound

Hello guys I have not been driving my car too much but when I do I like to downshift to hear the exhaust anyways I have noticed the whining sound that usually happens on all auto cars when downshifting is a little louder then usual. I will post two video links with the sound, hopefully you guys can hear it and point me in the right direction. I suspect its the transmission because it does not happen in park or neutral. My car is a CL55 AMG

Thanks!



Edit, it does do it in park but it has always done this sound

one video is next to a wall the other is not

After further research I am now thinking it could be abc related? I check my fluid level everyday and it does not drop. I have also replaced the front abc accumulator when I got the car.

Could be the engine oil pump. I know they get noisy over time. It's not really an issue though. Just annoying.

It’s a pulsation damper. Replace with new version.

The thing is there are 3 one medium size in the front driver side infront of the wheel and another medium size one in the back which are replaced not long ago, the only one I didn't do was that small one I linked

So replace the small one ! I replaced both in the front not the rear. Crazy sound like a bad steering pump in 1985…

By both in the front you mean the regular sized one IN front of the driver side tire and one near the passenger side door right?
