then comes the driving part,since 3 or 4 days theres this weird (trrr-rrr-rrr ) sound form the left,front side first it came on when i was driving at a high speed i think 140 km/h or something the next day on lower speeds and now as i go above 40 km/h its startss trrrrrrrrr and if i ignore it the sound remains the same but the speed of this noise increases,even if i put it in neutral the sound is still there.
but when the cars still and i rev it nothing no rattling nothing at all..........

If you have the AirMatic air suspension system as I do with my 2003 E500, it could be the pump which is located in the left front of the engine compartment. Otherwise, I have no clue for the noise.
