my c350e is like this, probably the same peddle used due to the feedback it gives. my dealer had the guts to say its normal. the pedal sticks like a sponge

I assume they have the same paddle. I have been to the garage last Thursday. I couldn't reproduce the noise. In my next day off I'll go there again only after reproducing it constantly. I also think they'll say it's normal. Very annoying!
The tester guy in the garage said that it cannot be sprayed with any kind of oil because it is electric. Bummer.

Today I finally had the chance to drive to the garage while this annoying squeaking noise being reproduced easily.
The garage tester told me that I have a minute or two to reproduce the noise unless I want to wait half an hour for my turn because he's working on another customer's car.
I promised it'll take a few minutes and indeed, it took less than a minute for him to hear the noise.
He drove the car into one of the working points and with another mechanic found that the noise is coming from the lower axle of the throttle peddle. It happens because dust had entered there.
They have cleaned the dust and sprayed some kind of lubricant and the noise disappeared.
A few thing that I need to add.
1) I do not see any reason why the issue won't reappear.
2) @Mbracer26 - Not sure if we were facing the exact same issue. There's still a very low noise coming from the throttle peddle because it's operating the electric motor. I assume you do not hear it when in sport or sport+, are you?

omg, this just started for me today and thank god I remembered seeing your post. I will try to clean it out this weekend. It happens right at tip in to the pedal. An ever slight tap on it makes it sing like a bird.

Yes. Exactly like that.
They have used high pressure air and also pure some oily material. Hope you'll sort it out yourself though.
