Strange Dashboard Electrical Noise

Hey all,

I just bought a CPO 2019 E300 4Matic. I'm noticing a very annoying high pitched beeping/buzzing noise coming from the dashboard.

It's faint and super high frequency, but verrrry annoying.

I'm bringing it back to the dealership for a look, but has anyone experienced this? Any insight into what it could be?

Thanks.

Right on schedule... is this your noise: the cabin blower fan?

It needs 2 drops of lubrication + new air filtration cartridge.

Could it be that the sound is coming from the sensors where the windshield is, I heard it actually get louder when distronic is engaged.

or the grill on top of the dash, in front of you ? (though that's more vibrating sound...)

"beeping/buzzing noise coming from the dash"

I think you got it @Egonvdv ​​​​​​​
The amplifier is actively toasting the center speaker.

It might be the amplifier or some sort of sensor noise.

While it's intermittent, I was able to record it:

You've got to listen past the "air" noise, its a high pitched beeping. You'll hear it if you turn up your volume.
