There could be something loose in the front suspension/brakes/wheels that is transmitting a vibration up the steering column. This should be taken carefully to a competent mechanic and soon. ---

It could also just be the unlocking motor running when it shouldn’t. That’s why we need a lot more detail, like, what the noise sounds like maybe?
