Engine noise on 2015 s550 4matic
I recently took delivery of my 2015 s550 4matic, I love the car but was surprised at engine noise it currently has less than 1000 miles, there is a wizzing sound a low revs. I took it to the dealer and they basically said it was normal and due to direct injection fuel pump. Have other owners found the engine noisy?

All direct injection engines are going to make noise until they warm up and Mercedes' A/C system is one of the noisiest going from outside the car. Just the way it is.

The problem is the noise is not only hearing from out side the car, but also can be heard in the car when quiet, e.g. speed below 40KM/Hour. It like cricket/ticking noise. I drive BMW 535 (3.0T turbo engine) and Audi A8 3.0T turbo engine, they all do not like this.
Local deal said it is high pressure pump sound, and cannot be solved. Any idea about this issue? I found another post about this issue in Benzworld forum, see below

Drive another 2014 or 2015 s550 on the dealership's lot WITH the guy that told you it's a normal sound
Then determine your next move

It is not only my car has the problem, we have a BENZ Forum in Chinese, more then 20 owner has the same issue. But some has no such problem. I drive another BENZ S400 in the dealer's shop, it has same sound. It really lower BENZ S car and make it like a cheap car.

And you cannot imaging how much they sale the car here in China.
S320= USD160-175K
S400= USD 200-230K
S500= USD 350K
S600= USD 450K
And for a car sale that price but you still can hear the cricket/ticking noise, I cannot believe it.
