My 05 Ford Freestyle has a faint whining noise, I think coming from the right side towards dash when sitting at the steering wheel. It happens only on a warm engine and I hear it better at low speeds going up and down when accelerating. Ford dealer was setting me up for a rip-off.Not a loud noise.

I have a ticking/tapping sound coming from either the left side of my dash or steering column, what could it be. I heard it a couple of months ago, then it went away, and now it's back. It's so annoying that I turn the radio up to drown out the sound. The steering is fine as is everything else.
