Weird sound from either the inside or trunk of my car...
Has anyone heard a weird sound, that I can only describe as an electronic whistle, very short in duration while driving? I have an 04 E500 w/ 3,200 miles. It doesn't happen often, maybe once every two weeks or something. It did happen once when the car was parked in my garage after I had opened the drivers door and had it open for a couple of minutes. Only this time the sound was a repeated on/off whistle almost like an alarm of some sort. It seemed to be eminating from the trunk.

Yes I have it too.
I started a thread on this last week. Here is the link.

The 211 central locking system is certainly extremely quiet, so perhaps this might explain why they persist with the pnuematice system.
