Wind Noise of A/C System
I have a 2018 S450. The noise level of the air blowing from the vents is louder than I would have expected -- especially from the center dash vent (the one just below the Nav screen). When the fan is on Level 1, it's OK. Level 2 is audible. Level 3+ is kinda noisy. Is this normal?

They are noisy on full speed, I don't know about 3+, that seems low. Are the vents fully open? I have had cases where a customer complains of a whistle from the a/c vents, and it's just the noise from the vents being partially closed at high fan speeds. Worth checking before your dealer visit that all of them are open fully.

Yeah, this has been an issue with MB models for many years. I had to get used to it when I switched from Lexus, were it was not a problem.
