My EQS makes a lot of outside noise when the A/C is running. You can also hear some noise with a little vibration inside as well. I'm not sure if this is due to the HEPA filter or not, but it seems louder than it should. It's been pretty hot in CA lately, but the air quality isn't bad. Is this normal?

It can get pretty loud outside. But its not the AC fan its the battery cooling system. If its hot enough it will also run when the car is off. You will also hear full tilt when charging on a fast DC charger.
You should barely hear it inside. When the AC fan is at full speed it can be also quite "sonorous". In really hot conditions they both will run at the same time. If you want to have utter silence when you get in the car on very hot conditions use the pre-entry conditioning if you set it to15 minutes pre entry. When you get there the car will be a temple of silence at perfect temp. It will however cost a little range in the process unless its plugged in.

I hear the same noise which seems to be normal with the EQS.

I also notice what sounds(outside) like a motor when in D or R with the car not moving. The sounds stops when placed in N. Any ideas?

The car is supposed to make that noise to alert pedestrians.

Its white noise up to 30 or so. To me it souds like "shhhh"

Does anybody know if the sound can be disconnected or turned off. My neighbors Audi makes a similar sound and it's horrible.

c4004matic

You can simply disconect the front and rear bumper mounted speakers. Which is not recommended and illegal since that noise is mandated. I really dont see the issue since its completely unheard with the windows up. The reverse Beep Beep is still audible though. If you disconect the speakers the beep is also eliminated.

The sound and Reverse beep are controllable in the menus.

c4004matic

Nope. Not the outside Beep, nor the low speed white noise.You can turn off the arrival tada noises but not the mandated white noise.

I beg to differ, I have reduced the Reverse beep several time from 5 to 1. No time now but will eventually find and screenshot for the forum.

c4004matic

That is the inside sound that comes from the radio. The outside is unaffected.
Stand outside while someone reverses the car for you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you‼️

Screen shots extraordinarily helpful over trying to unravel manual prose.

C400,
I hate when I am wrong as my wife reminds me everyday. You are correct in that you can control the volume in the menu in the car but not outside.

That battery cooling fan running when 'it's too hot' is a bit of wonderment for me.

Here in Texas, the Tesla battery fan ran, it seemed, all the time because we don't have a Mediterranian climate. Even in the garage it ran. The EQS not so much but it's been a lot cooler the last two weeks here. Just in the lower 90's..

. So if it runs a lot, then that means the battery is draining which in turn means I have to plug the car in and use more electricity.

I live in San Antonio, and I have never heard the cooling fan running in the garage when the car is off and locked. The fans come on immediately if I unlock it to unplug, or to get in to go somewhere, but turn off again as soon as I lock it. So, if they are running, they are very quiet. I haven't noticed any battery drain in the 9 months I've owned my car. Keeping the car locked in the garage also prevents the interior lights, which stay on quite a while if unlocked, from draining the 12v battery.

Could be my gargage on a 101* day, gets near that same temp inside my garage is My problem.

LovinMercedes

Does anyone have a screenshot of where this setting is?

I had the same problem on my EQS580 (noise and vibration inside) its the AC compressor, you can turn off the AC and the noise/vibration goes away..... looks like this is only a problem when the temp outside is above 100F and you set a differential temp inside of 20 degrees or more

Dealer said it is normal given where the compressor is mounted, etc, etc

Go test another EQS on the lot, and if it sounds the same, your dealer is right. Based on my experience and talking to other MB technicians, MB dealerships will typically blow you off first until you can prove it otherwise. Sorry, no puns intended. Don't give up. Go to another MB dealer if you have choice.
