I just started hearing this in the last two weeks. Temps have started dipping into the low 30's and thats when it happens. I only hear it when making tight turns such as into and out of a parking space. It is not loud but is noticable even with the stereo on. I sounds like it's coming from where the steering wheel connects to the column. It sounds similar but quieter than the sound that tennis shoes make on a gym floor.
I have also started hearing a vibrating noise inside the instument cluster that "rattles", for lack of a better word , more when the engine revs. I think it might have something to do with the tachometer.
