Active Body Control (ABC) Issues
The Active Body Control (ABC) suspension pulsation damper will cause a humming / buzzing noise when not working correctly. If your dampener needs replacing you will hear a howling sound that peaks at 2000 RPM then disappears above that RPM. M-B has a service bulletin about this. See TSB Topic number LI32.50-P-048280 for more detailed information.
