I am new here and have a new 2019 E450. Is it possible to have sounds when using the backup camera that start beeping when you get too close to an object?

Not natively on your Mercedes via the car. Perhaps there's an aftermarket solution out there, but not one from Mercedes.

My car beeps whenever I get too close to any obstacle no matter where it is located. That function is not part of the backup camera system. IIRC it is part of the P3 package.

Maybe I misunderstood the question? I was thinking he wanted the car to make audible sounds when backing up like a truck does. If he's wondering if the car makes audible sounds inside the car when backing up or pulling into a parking space, then yes, with parking sensors, the system does beep in the car and the Comand screen lights the area where you're getting too close to.

Is your car equipped with Parktronic/Parking Assist? If so it should alert you audibly and visually to nearby objects on all sides of the vehicle.

If your is car equipped with parking sensors, you can go to settings menu and lower or increase "beeping" volume and also turn on "earlier warning" (which turn on beeping earlier then usual).

Nope, it was my fault for not understanding what the question was. It's what my mind went to when reading it, but clearly was not what the OP asked.
