What is this noise :-(

Hello all,
(S63L W222 (2016) AMG with M157 engine) - 50k Miles

I'm getting this noise when I heavily accelerate or lets just say put my foot down in 1st gear

No issues with power or performance, Star Xentry showing nothing.

But noise is quite loud, it comes and goes I think.
Any help would be appreciated as the Mercedes technicians here in the UK play a lot of guess games and I would rather point them in an area they can look as my car has gone in to dealers now.

Many thanks

(Didn't have any luck here so removed the videos.)

Dealer has got back to me and said it could be Pulley, Belt or Turbo.

Car is performing exceptionally well, no smoke, acceleration is excellent, surely can't be?

Update: Issue resolved. The transmission required 2 liters of oil, the noise went away.

That's your blow off valve, or in the case of MB it's the turbo wastegate. I can't hear it on my S63, but that's a totally normal sound for a wastegate to make. Rice tuners use this process to make all kinds of fun sounds, but normally it's quieter on MB cars. Point being, the turbo wastegate is what's making that noise, but yours sounds like it's not letting the turbo get to max pressure before releasing, therefore channeling the turbo pressure out of the intake. If it is in fact behaving abnormally your car won't accelerate as hard as it would otherwise.

But it makes that sound normally when the transmission shifts. So if it does that when shifting, or anytime you lift off the accelerator pedal, it's totally normal.

When I’m hammering on it it is easy to pick out when the wastegates are open to regulate boost pressure. Very distinct noise.

The 221 S-65 made same noise.

Never hear the bypass valves. V-12 intake too quiet.
