Engine Sound

Hi guys!

Once you hear a sound, it doesn't go off your ears ).

I have started hearing this weird sound when the vehicle is in motion coming in from underneath the vehicle (I think) that basically makes a sound as if the engine sound is not even and is uneven at every form of rotation. I just don't how to explain this enough.

I'll ask the dealer soon but wanted to see if you guys face any similar issue or is this something normal within Mercs?

Took it to a local tire place and they test drove it. They thought it was the tires as there was notable exterior "toe" wear and recommended I take it to the dealer for an alignment just in case t needed parts/fixes under warranty.

I'll go there later this week.
