I’ve had my GLE450E since mid July. If I let the MB charger charge by battery to 100% and don’t go unplug it within a few minutes of it hitting a full charge, the car will make a noise under the hood that I cannot get to stop without taking the car out for a 5-10 minute drive. I attached a video of the sound. Any ideas?
The car made this sound for 20 minutes 2 days ago after I unplugged it and before I left to go somewhere. For a car I’ve only had less than 2 months, I’m not sure what’s going on. And I shouldn’t have to run out to unplug it immediately every time it hits a charge.
The first time the noise happened I also got the below error on my app and had left it plugged in after hitting 100% for 20 minutes.

I also have a 450e. I believe that is the cooling sound. I have heard the same in 2 situations, one is if the car is unlocked and automatic climate cooling is set on. The moment I lock the car, or start it, the cooling stops. The other situation is when the car is charging and it is hot outside, to keep the high voltage battery system cool. My car will turn cooling on and off as necessary.

I use the home charging program. I set it to 90% charge. I have it switch to home when close. I also have it unlock the charger when completed. No worrying about running out and unplugging it.
I haven’t tried another charger. We have a brand new MB wall charger installed by their preferred electrician. But I mentioned this to them when I called my service advisor yesterday and asked if maybe we got a bad charger?
I will check my settings and make sure it’s unlocking after it completes the charge. So if it’s unlocked it definitely won’t continue charging it sounds like. This is what I would want. Thank you!

I'd find a fast charging location close to you, charge it there and see if the error pops up. If it does, it's most likely a car issue. If it doesn't, it most likely a charger issue.
I have been charging the 450e at home with a older Bosche wall charger(level II) and it takes a couple of hours....now 9,000 km on the vehicle with no issues. On a road trip I used the Level I charger MB gave me...somewhat useless as it take two days to charge the car to 100%....but still getting over 96km per charge...which is great. I do find sometimes it makes a fair amount of noise from the car...and make sure you lock the car once you start charging...I find it helps with ??? that is running while charging.
