I think you will find that the sound is the SBC braking system starting up, in anticipation of you needing to use the brakes before starting the engine ...

Does it mean that every E320 makes a sound when we open door ? Is this normal or needs to be fixed?

I think you will find that this is perfectly normal for the E class. I have got used to it now, and don't notice it much anymore ...

If you look at the manual, you will find that a number of things trigger the SBC system - if you open the door using the key or keyless-go; if you touch the brake pedal; if you place the ignition in position 1 or 2 etc.
