Default For those with Adaptive Air Suspension

I have been noticing that sometimes when I come to a stop (or almost a stop) I would hear some noise from the back of the car on the right side that sounds like compressor letting air out. It's not the same noises that you hear when you are rasing/lowering your car. It's a little louder, but not very loud. It sounds like either air getting pumped in or out. Not sure if that's normal.

For those with adaptive air suspension, do you guys notice the same thing?

Default Its pretty normal...also happens when

you unload your groceries from the back. Suddenly your car farts, even though its parked and off.

I notice it more in my MAN truck on air as the load shifts more under braking. If you stop at lights it does nothing then you lift foot off brake to move and it instantly resets. Q does same but not as drastic. I am sure it is affected by how hard you brake coming to a stop.
