2024 GLE 53 AMG Coupe Ticking Noise When Accelerating

I am one month into ownership and about 649 miles, I am noticing whenever I accelerate I hear a ticking noise from the passenger side. It is most noticeable when I am going about 30 MPH and when I let off of the gas, it seems to stop. It seems like it is a ticking noise or almost like having a baseball card in a bicycle wheel's spokes but quieter. Anyone else experience this? I would prefer not to schedule a service visit so soon.

I have the same problem on my 2022 GLE350, but after driving like 10mins the noise will disappear. I have been to dealership service a few times but they couldn’t find the problem and tell be that sounds normal.

Sounds like it might be the wastegate, when it warms up it stops. That sounds exactly how the wastegate rattle is.

Mine sounds similar. I have not had the dealership address it yet. Also what is the wastegate?

For sure, I too recommend getting them to check it. Depending on the situation and loudness it could be not normal as well, especially if doesn't close properly or closes at the wrong time etc.

B220d 2020
Happens to me too on automatic b220d 2020

When car is cold and underload around 30mph around 2k rpm on passenger side. Noticed just before shifting gears mostly. Tried again to check in another day on cold start with the car parked and there is no rattling noise. The noise disappears when the car warms up just after the first thick of the oil temp. Took the car to my local mb and for them is all good Posted a link below

I cant hear the ticking in the video. But mine does it around 30 MPH and when i'm slightly pressing on the gas. I don't remember where the RPMs would be at, but I am guessing somewhere around 2K.
