Default Steering Wheel Noise

Have anyone noticed a strange "buzzing" noise in the steering wheel once you turn-off the engine and open the door? The same noise occur when the engine is turn-on.

Do you have the power telescoping wheel that comes with either the Luxury or Sport package?

Could it be the sound of the wheel telescoping back into the dash? If so, it probably makes the same noise when you start the car and the wheel moves out.

Is not the sound of the wheel telescoping back into the dash, is a sound that comes out when the door is open, the same sound occur when the engine is turn on.

The sound has to do with the evaporative system, someone asked the same thing a little while back, i'll try to find the thread. But the sound is normal.
