1999 ML 430

Noise

Hi, I have a 1999 ML 430 with 238.000 km and noticed a noise coming from where the pedals are or under the steering wheel. I can hear the noise when I turn the key to battery mode, when the engine is running and when I switch off the engine. The noise is more noticeable with the engine switched off. In the video below I switched off the engine and removed the key from the ignition.

(Better to use headphones)

What is making the sound?

Thanks, Jimmyy

At what second/time is it making the sound? Are you turning the key on & off?

The engine was on and I switched off. You can hear the noise at 4 seconds

Sorry, I have no idea what that sound is. Open the door and crawl into the foot area and turn the key on and see where the noise is coming from.

I put the phone inside the wheel arch of the front left tire and you can hear a roaring noise. The engine was switched off and no key in the ignition.
