SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD!

As a recent purchaser of a EQS 450+ sedan, is the sound that comes from the front of the car after you shut it off normal??? It sounds like a great big 'sigh'. (Back in the day, I had a horse that did that when I dismounted.) Anyway, is this normal??? What is it??? By the way, it's become our favorite ride.... and that says a lot when you look at what we have in our garage..... (and I'm not talking about the horse).

Yes it's very normal. I compare it to my home A/C or heat pump decompressing.

Sounds like a whale taking a breath. Don't know for sure, always figured it has something to do with the suspension decompressing, but it has been happening now for over two years. Definitely a normal sound.

I get that sound from my EQE SUV sometimes when I shut it off. I always assumed it was the Airmatic system, as in conjunction with the sound, I can see the car lowering slightly. I am only three months into the ownership of my car, but I am currently of the opinion that this is entirely normal.

Lightbulb Airmatic Sigh

Same happened with my W221 with air suspension. A big sigh to let of air.
