Strange fast and sharp air noise coming from front right randomly, is it suspension?!

Anyone have a strange noise, it sounds like air shooting out really fast, on the front right side of our GL450 ... is this the suspension ? It is strange, it comes randomly and it lasts for a split second. Usually when touching the brake pedal.

It kind of sounds like kind of when a 18 wheeler shoots out a quick airnoise. I don't know how else to describe it but when it first happened we thought something was scraping in the front right side of the car.

Thanks

It's a 'feature'.

Yes, it's your suspension. Normal.

Seriously

What is the suspension doing ? It almost sounds like the car is snorting (kinda like a bull )

BTW Thanks for the quick response ...

Search the forum for airmatic and noise. Thou shalt find what thy noise is all about.
