Default Strange buzzing sound around the steering column

Anyone else have the issue of having a strange buzzing sound, kind of like an insect flying sound, around the steering column area?

Started a few days ago - and its not an insect, I checked. Happens a low to mid speeds and once I hit highway speeds it goes away. Really annoying - going to take it to the dealer to have it checked out but wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

Thanks!
George
