2005 E class RWD

A quick question. After the car has been sitting for a few days and you open the door, there is a humming noise under the hood. Can anyone advise?

I'd be willing to bet it's the SBC braking system.

Could be the airmatic pump. I think it's under the drivers seat. I have that same buzzing some times.

It's the SBC pump.

This is a good clue as to how brake pad changing on this car can be dangerous if not performed by the book.
