Regardless of the season change she always looks so good.

CLE 53 AMG

I love this season! 🍁🍃🍂

2018 AMG GT-S 17k miles, first transaxle car, equipped with steel brakes, I’m still learning my way around these. Tires are also new, with about 1,000 miles on them and aligned to factory spec by MB service.

I’ve noticed a faint mechanical noise when decelerating off-throttle between roughly 1,500 - 1,000 RPM. I’ve tested it in gear and in neutral, and the noise is present either way. It’s most noticeable when slowing down for a stop sign or taking a slow corner. It’s also easier to hear with the exhaust valves fully open.

My first thought is that it could be something related to the exhaust valves, but I’m curious whether anyone has experienced something similar or has ideas about whether it could be coming from the transaxle or rear differential.

I know diagnosing a sound over the internet is a long shot, but I’d appreciate any input from other AMG owners before I start chasing it down.
