I too just got a 2011 Grand Edition ML but mine has the BlueTec engine.
It does not have the whining sound.
Why not bring it to another M-B Dealer if your Dealer has no clue on how to fix it?
Or call M-B's corporate office to register your concerns.
I'm sure M-B doesn't want to have an unhappy customer.
Let us know if the find out what is causing the sound.
Good luck.

try it with the A/C compressor off....my ML squeals like a pig at start up with A/C on. Dealer has checked it on 3 different trips in...all OK. It does quiet down after a few miles.
