Default Just purchased a black 06 is250

Hi everyone,
Recently just upgraded from a 99 GS400 to a 06 IS250.
Loving the IS250 so far the handling is night and day compared to my GS.

I dunno if this is an issue or not But when I turn off the engine and as soon as I open the door I hear this winding adjusting noise that lasts for about half a second.

Is this normal or should I be worried. Thanks in advance for the input guys.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone. Glad to know that it's just the steering lock.
I will not be modding the car anytime soon but eventually I do want to lower the car and put some LFA replica rims on.

Pics will be posted soon.
