Sound when you get in / park car

Im curious as to what this sound I am hearing is.

When i park the car, or even when I first start it, from the outside I hear a noise that almost sounds like a drop of water dropping on a hot piece of metal or a snake doing a 1 second hiss.

This sound only happens when the engine is not running and normally right when I unlock the doors, before I even get in.


edit-

Looks like this answered my question : https://mbworld.org/forums/new-s-cla...-new-s550.html

Ours does it also. I think it's a pressure release from the suspension.
