Im not saying thats it, just trying to throw out ideas.

I have a 2012, so I don't think it's steering lock. Haven't done anything with it, but I'm going to look -- I found this diagram on a parts site, and this is exactly where the sounds seems to be coming from:



Looks like the reverse light relay and the heated seat (or HVAC-related) relay.

I'm trying to think which relays would only be active when the car is:

1. under load (usually moderate-heavy, but sometimes light) (i.e., not when revving in neutral or with syncrorev).

2. Turning the engine upon start ~ 30% of the time when starting the car.

Getting warmer, maybe....
