Hello and welcome to the forum! If I'm understanding your question correctly, the S class does have a self-leveling suspension, so that's likely what you saw when the car was on an incline and leveled itself.

Thanks for posting the video - I believe it is the compressor; it does sound a bit loud (unless that was background noise), are you experiencing issues with it or are just asking what the sound is? When you're driving, is the suspension even?

If the car is driving without issue and you have not had any codes thrown, then I would believe that the car is operating normally.
