Get your car to a workshop FAST. Check all brake pads, (front & rear).
If not, you can have a very expencive repair coming up, not to mention the danger of driving without brakes.

mercs.lots of em!
It sounds like a typical 500SEC ,they all seem to make that sound under brakes. It's a combination of cheap quality brake pads ,( the front ones cost $180 a set here! so they get neglected) and the rears .I would say that your ABS has been disconnected ( does the light work when you turn on the igniton key? ) forcing the front brakes to do all the work.
The noise being transmitted is comming from the brake support bushes ,those two big round rubber things each side of the car under the front.
Use only Mercedes supplied brake pads ,bite the bullet and wear the cost!.The commonly available Textar brand don't stand up to even every day running .
