Default Electronic Steering Column Making Noise

My steering column comes down as I've set it to do when I start the engine. When I turn off the ignition, the steering column rises up so that I can more easily exit the vehicle. This week I've noticed a light sound when it comes down. It's very hard to describe. It''s not a grinding sound, but almost sounds like the column is brushing against something for a moment when it's moving. Anyone experience anything similar? Consensus is that I should bring it to the dealer and get it looked at while it's still in warranty, correct?

I had this problem on my old C6. Dealer replaced it under warranty, told they had to replace the entire steering column. Not cheap.

Interesting. I'm going in for the 45K tune up next week. I'll add this to my list, mine sounds like a fat person sitting on a old wooden chair slowly
