The noise, assuming everyone is experiencing the same noise, mine was coming from the steering column and it was like a click or a creak and heard sometimes during turns and while going over bumps. But to fix it, I took off the steering column cover, it comes off very easily you just turn your steering wheel to the side and it will reveal a philips screw near each of the stalks (turn signal stalk and wiper stalk) then you can just pull part the cover. Once you have the cover off, I realized that the noise was coming from the steering wheel position lock mechanism, and that there is a nut located on the right side of that column that you can turn to tighten the position lock mechanism. Once I tightened that nut up the noise went away.


However I should note that after I fixed this issue, my car failed to start, I don't know if I touched something related to the steering wheel lockout module, but my car will be at the dealer getting it fixed tomorrow, I will let you guys know if my start not starting was related to me tightening that nut and I also let you guys know what to be aware of so you don't run into the same issue I'm having.
Well that's unfortunate.
