Noisy steering wheel

Hi, Recently i started my car and when first reversing off my drive, i noticed a weird noise when ever i turn my steering wheel. It has not affected the steering in anyway and has just magically started happening. I can't hear it most of the time over the radio however sometimes i turn it off and it gets annoying.
The only way to describe the noise, is as if ive dropped crums into the steering wheel and they're rattling whenever i move it lol but thats not happened.

Please see my video - the noise sounds really loud and high pitched on my PC, not sure if its my speakers or the microphone has picked it up really sensitively but as i say its not really noticeable unless the radios off...

Any ideas how to stop it ?

Lol, no problem, it's quite odd problem though, you never know mind, a piece of small plastic may of snapped off and jiggling around in there, your best bet is to crack it off, if you have a garage near, ask them to have a look. Shouldn't cost much, but if you dont wanna spend no money, just learn to live with it.

Hope this helps,

Mike.
