buzz and clicks when door is open/closed
Having recently got the GL, I'm wondering what is happening when the motor is off and the door is opened/closed. There is a high pitched motor or electronic signal and a series of clicks (coming from the front of the car) when the door is operated. Seems as if the car is coming out of 'sleep' mode, but there's probably a better explanation... enquiring mind wants to know.
thanks

Just like a faint hissing noise as the suspension settles. I first noticed it on my mom's 2005 E500 wagon and again on my S550. My CL600 does it but much less obvious.

Mine does it, too. It's like the airmatic preps for driving as soon as you open the door. I guess Germans never leave things in their cars by accident or do anything with the doors unless they're about to drive?
