Default Steering Wheel Sound

Has anyone experienced a rubbing/whirring sound from from their steering wheel while turn at low speeds?

Huh? Why would VDIM cause that at LOW speeds?

Yeah, that makes no sense I haven't heard any such noises from my steering wheel at any speed.

how loud is it? it could be electronic power steering sound, but it is generally not loud at all.... You can hear it in dead silent car, navigating through parking lot with engine at idle....

It's not too loud, but it is noticeable. It's just very annoying since it seems like I'm driving a car with sound effects when I turn.
