I have a '03 E320, and I also have that "feeling". I remember that there might be a MB Tech note (service note) to fix it. Does anyone remember?

A soft hum for about 5 seconds every so often as it pressurizes the sustem. (Usually when you 1st step on the brakes after a long park.)

get inside the car, stomp on the brakes a couple of times (engine not running, keys not in) and SBC pump will kick on ... it's normal. It's also going to happen ever 10th or so door open (front doors).
