Mechanic told me if I hear the noise again they will replace the part.

Just noticed this with mine as well currently @ 25K miles. Thought I had been hearing some faint noise when turning, but dismissed it. Usually have a 3 year old asking questions and 2 month old in the back seat, so its almost never quiet. Anyway I had the 3G fix performed last week and since the noise has become much more pronounced (now sounds exactly like the videos).

Guess I'll make a service appointment.

From what i can hear, that's the steering wheel "groan" or rubbing noise that has been discussed. I may have missed something but I can't imagine how T-mobile service could be related.

Drove the car 5-6 miles home. Groaning noise is gone. We shall see if it comes back like in your case.

Was your problem fixed? I have exactly same noise and dealer says you need new brakes. Because it comes form the left wheel. I changed both rotors and pads to new ones and same issue comes back in a week. I notice caliper overheats more on the left side.

This is exactly same sound I hear:
