Question 2005 AMG E55 Surge hesitate during acceleration

My 2005 AMG E55 will "surge/hesitate" during acceleration. In any mode of shifting. It reminds me of on older cars when the AC compressor kicks on and off. You can even hear that same sound. It is a chirp like somehting kicking off or on and a pulley squeak right quick.

Have seen some threads saying normal and some saying Supercharger clutching.

Anyone else have this...Not a problem but annoying.

This is normal...chirp and slight hesitation....usually under light acceleration..if you get on it should not be noticeable.
