Noise after turning car off and opening door

It's the lockout for the steering wheel. Since there is not a mechanical ignition there is an electric motor that provides the lockout.

This sounds more plausible. I would tend to agree with this because it sounds like an mechanical actuator.

Does your car make this noise?

He is correct, keep your hand on the steering wheel and you can feel it.
