09 ml550 changing gears

I own a 09 ml 550...had it for about 2 months but always had my radio on and windows up when i started the car...anyways theres a grinding noise when i change gears...am i supposed to hear the gears changing?? Just doesnt sound right...

can anyone with the same car can pay attention when they change gears and see if you hear anything??

Need to bring it in to the dealership just wanted to see if anyone has the same problem...

It's normal. You'll find that any MB with the column-mounted shifter makes this noise.

so i got a reply from the dealership and it is normal for the sound because a computerized motor shifts the gear into place.
