I have the same noises from the brakes: chirping in addition to the usual squealing. Already given up on the latter as it's pretty common with Mercedes these days. A dealership worked on the brakes a couple of years ago and fixed the chirping/screeching for a year or so, but now it's back and needs properly anti-social level of braking to stop.
Maybe it's due to the different countries but in Australia I believe the dealerships get paid by Mercedes for warranty works so they are more than happy to oblige and have a look: there must be about a metre of felt tapes added to my car to fix various rattles under warranty. Never paid a cent for any warranty related inspection, test drive with head technician, replacement part, labour, or materials.
You are not expecting too much, some dealerships are just horrible. Take your business elsewhere if there are options, as it took me a while to find a decent dealership: if you are still visiting the dealership you bought the car from, let them know that such negligence will surely cost them your patronage in the future.

Mine was making the noise with only 6K miles on the brakes & new rotors while trying to turn slightly to the left. also odd grinding noise when it is raining. Got resolved with couple anti-social breaking. Gone so far and perhaps something hard was stuck in one venting hole or the other or the brake pad venting channel. Maybe it just need some beating till the brakes wear down some.

After pulling apart the brakes and cleaning them front and back the noise went away but returned again a few months later…. Replaced all brake pads with non-OEM PowerStop z24 (?) Ceramic pads and the noises have completely gone away and did not return.
