Car making intermitent buzzing when off???
One thing is for sure, this thing lives up to the name Beast. With all the whines, whirls and buzzing...it's like it's alive sometimes.
Just checkin though...car has been off for bout 30-40mins and I pop out to the garage and it is making this intermitent higher pitch buzzing type sound....almost sounds like those old old printers (dot matrix). Buzzing is coming from engine compartment and happens bout every 10-15 secs and lasts for less than a sec. Maybe just brake system or blower releving pressure...wasn't sure.
Any input??

Same thing happened to me several months ago. Was in the laundry room which is off the garage and kept hearing this really hight pitched whine. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, so opened garage door and it got louder. Walked over to the car and sure enough, it was coming from the engine bay area. Did it for a few seconds every few minutes. Can't say I've heard it since.

Its all those electronics in the car that are making the buzzing sound. Its quite normal as all the E55's seem to be doing this. As to why it does this, who knows.

Its an E class thing, not an E55 thing
I think the noises are quite pleasant... An almost calming ambience. I could fall asleep to it.

I get the same thing if I stay out in the garage for an extended amount of time. I figured it was probably normal. I think she may be pissed I'm eyeing her sister (Dodge Viper) next to her and it trying to get my attention.
