Do the MB cars have 'beep' sounds when activating door locks ?
I noticed that my MBs do not have any beep/chirp sounds when locking doors... and I always took it as normal. But is it? Rest of my non-MB cars do chirp/beep so just wonder if this is normal for MB cars (or at least my car model year) or something that I need to put some attention.

The older models like my 2003 sl55 didn't have that feature but I do now. The Alarm Siren makes that beeping noise that you are looking for. I'm not sure what year but the newer models have that. If you replace the siren the replacement comes with that feature. You may have to at some point as I did..the siren has sealed batteries that go bad over time and may cause your horn to go off frequently for no reason.
here's a link from another member that shows how to change:
