Chaps,

Getting a funny air noise from behind the dash, sounds like someone blowing over a top of a milk bottle.

Had the 'stat changed recently as the battery was draining over night, thinking they might be related? Something could have been disturbed?

Anyone had anything similar?

Funny enough, yes, on Saturday on the motorway I got the same noise only for about 5 sec, haven't heard it before and hasn't done it since, I thought it might have been the top section of the drivers door seal as it needs a new clip from when it froze to the bodywork and got pulled off when it was below freezing around Christmas time 2006 Mercedes CLS

LOL, I had the same issue a while back. Mine turned out to be a combination of a rag and a 1L can of oil wedged in with the battery. If there's anything in that space other than the battery it whistles big time.

I have had the same experience! Sounds exactly as you describe - blowing over the top of a bottle - seems to come from under the steering wheel. Seems to happen only when cruising on the highway, perhaps twice to three times an hour. I don't have the FBH, so it can't be that. mentioned it to the dealer, but they can't even sort out a squeaky front suspension....

The scuttle panel can lift around 50-60 seems to be its "sweet spot" 

windscreen washer pipes vibrating on the scuttle near battery also causes a similar noise at 70ish

Hmmm! The battery was replaced too, I wonder if the washer pipes were disturbed...

thats exactly what mine did after the battery was replaced!

it could al;so be the scuttle vibrating as Dan says. The trouble is some garages don't put the bonnet into access mode to replace the battery, they force it in and lift the plastic scuttle. The scuttle is stuck to the windscreen with adhesive tape, if it comes loose then it vibrates against the glass.

I would check your pipes first - I used cable ties and insulation tape to secure them. If this doesn't work, check the scuttle is still stuck to the glass.

Sorry, not adding anything useful just find it really funny how we're driving our very own orchestras depending on how fast you go/how sh4gged out the car is!

it was the peasants at my battery depot that goosed mine

It was just before Christmas I replaced my battery, I've probably arsed something up, I'll check it later. 2006 Mercedes CLS

How did you fix? Off with the scuttle, new tape and back on?

I dont think scuttle is glued down
