Speaking of becoming quieter, I changed the ATF and filter early this week
(on the '91 300D) and could swear the car is quieter!
While I expect this when changing from fossil to synthetic engine oil, the
change in sound level from fossil ATF to M1 ATF was unexpected.
Has anyone else experienced this (with the ATF change) or is it my
imagination/wishful thinking?

Watch the level and don't let it run completely dry! Hard starting will

the purge. It was definitely more quiet after!

Imagination but who cares. Now you can go much longer between ATF changes!

You must NOT push the change interval when using Mobil 1 ATF. You need to change the fluid/filter at about the same interval as part of the purpose of the ATF/filter change is to remove the friction material debris (that will clog the filter). Even conventional ATF is seldom worn out when a change is required although it may be damaged or contaminated. The advantage of M-1 ATF is the much smoother shifting (and resulting longer friction material life) and more viscosity consistency with respect to temperature.
