Hi rdoesit,
I am not an expert but I am familiar with my S class and the "air" noises.

In my car, the suspension is air regulated and the car makes adjustments all the time. Additionally, the doors and trunk lid are air assisted for quiet closing and there are apparent air noises from that system as well.

I would say what you are hearing is very normal for an S class.

Reagrds,
Milton

very normal, when you park your car the shocks(which use air) release the air and the car seats a little lower. when you start your car the air pump generates some air and feeds the shocks. what you hear is normal.
