SLK32 whine from rear axle

I have a whine on coast at around 40 mph. Sounds to me like to much backlash on the gear and pinion. My local tech says it is normal. I've had SLK230 and 320 and did not hear this on either. Is this something I should talk to MB about? It's a little annoying when you drive at that speed.
