No sound when putting into Park or locking

I just took delivery of an 08 R350 4matic and when I put the car into park, there is no sound emitted. I had an 06 ML that did, and Im not sure if it was specific to that model. Also, when i lock the car with the remote, there is no honk. is this normal? is there a way to turn it on?

Various posts on the GL board have indicated that the chime was omitted in 2008 models. My 2007 GL has the chime. I can't explain why MB would leave out the Park chime in 2008, as I've found it very useful to have that audible feedback.

There is no honk when you lock the car, and I'm not aware of any MB model that has ever honked.

New C class chirps twice when locked, but doesn't honk.

R 320 CDI on 20" Mandrus Milleniums
my R blinks 3 times when locking, once when unlocking, plus i have a nice "ding" when i put it in park.

also, i set it up that my mirrors fold in when i lock the car.
