I know what you mean, the leather seats and/or the air bags inside the seats do seem to creak more when it’s hot out. My CLS did the same thing, it had an active/multi function/massaging driver seat (but not passenger!) and was leather throughout.

This is really embarrassing. I figured out what the noise was. It was my invisible intern. They are supposed to stay at the office but they were sitting in the back seat. I would fire them but they don’t get paid. 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to post such a stupid thread.

Thought this was just my car! Definitely hear those seats (seems like the lumbar bolsters are the biggest culprit!).

I started to hear a rattle recently, and it took me a couple of days to track down, I had put my sunglasses in the holder in a different orientation to normal. I swapped them around again, and all is good with the world (well, at least inside my car!)

I don't understand why. I have the same setup and it's totally quite. How old are your tires ? Mine were noisy from the beginning, but after about 500 miles the noise disappeared.

I have about 7-8,000 miles on them. They have been the same consistent loudness from day one.

My dad's car :3/4 less than V12 which translates to V8 but I love the way W222s drive a lot .I have not driven a diesel W222 or any diesel Mercedes-Benz but I think those engines must be quiet too , if not should be more quieter equivalent counterpart German diesels in their class .
