Angry Damn!!!!

One week into driving my "new" 2000 S430(new to me anyways), with only 40k miles on it, and this utterly annoying humming sound has started emanating from somewhere in the car. It it loud and has a deep sound....and seems to be at its worst when I first drive off from a standstill or when I slow down after driving at highway speed.

Can anyone tell me what the hell this annoying sound is?

In the W140 600SEL, there is a humming or kind of whining noise when you reverse past 15MPH or so. Other than that, it doesn't do anything like yours. How loud is it?

Very loud....but it seems it is only audible from inside the car, not outside. I'm supposed to take it back to the dealer on Monday...
