Electric Power Steering Question

Does anyone else have a light noise when you turn the steering wheel left to right or vice versa when your sitting still?

What kind of noise? More specifically..

My LS has a very subtle sound from the back of the steering wheel rubbing against the steering pedestal/column, never bugged me though. Can only hear it while idling.. (Thas how quiet it is, any engine noise will cancel it out.)

the very high-pitched whining noise just off the idle position is the electric motor providing assist to the steering column

It's just a very minor thump.

Kinda like backlash on a rear end.

i have the same sound, a slight rubbing sound only heard when steering at slow speeds, i hope it wears itself away, and does not add to the ongoing issues i am having with my wifes new cobalt.
