Weird whistle sound From the front!!!

I noticed today some weird sound coming somwhere from a front, it's kind of whistle it's not very loud but i can hear it outside pretty well, and from inside with radio off.. There's no messages, when i turn off the car whistle continius for another 3-4 seconds and then shuts down. Going to service tomorow... What do you think it is?

P.s my car is freaking 10 days old. I really dont like it, and dont want another 745!!!

Shame Bob. I've had mine for the same timeframe and got none of your issues.

As for the whistle, try to keep your pet canary off the engine manifold. It gets pretty hot in there.

haha the amount of E Class owners who get scared about this
I think they all do it, there isnt anything wrong with it. I've heard it on E500s and E55s.

no he means the whistle that comes when u turn on the car or switch it off. It isnt the fan, thats loud enough too.

I don't exactly know what that sound is but i know you aren't alone. If it actually was a problem, mercedes would have recalled the cars by now

I'm assuming its a V8 thing, i haven't listened to an E320 or 240

Keep me update. I think I heard that sound from my engine before, especially when the engine is still cold. Did the sound come right from the front (around the front grill)? Anyway, please post what it is. If this is something that affect performance or anything, I'll have to check mine to the dealer too.

Thanks,
