oh...that. That's those very, very, very small german engineers....helping you turn your wheel!

Jk!

I think it may be the contacts for the horn..but that's just a guess.

Check your power steering fluid. Mine was low and I heard a similar noise.

Could it possibly be a loose nut holding the steering wheel??
