Check the column shroud isnt rubbing... sometimes if you accidently give it a kick when climbing in it can move and rub... just hit it again from the other side.

you can take off the steering wheel and check to see that there is grease on the brass ring that the contact for the horn runs on,some cars did not have grease put on at lotus

I think mine has this feature but believe it occurs from nearer, or in, the rack. Not a wear issue as such, just something resonating lightly. Noticed it when changing a gaiter and thought "oh, I've heard that in the car before!"
I just drive faster then you don't notice

Mine makes this noise occasionally. Tried moving the plastic surround and goes away but does come back. Just ignore it.

Mine started doing that a couple of years ago, a bit of grease on the joint easily accessible from under the stack unit and it was sorted.

Lithium grease spray worked for me.
