Hi there. Sometimes this type of noise is caused by an electrical component failure inside the ignition cylinder. However, it could be caused by an electrical component such as a relay, timer, solenoid, or actuator that is switched on by your key. The best solution to this problem is to first have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete a car is making a noise inspection. This will allow them to isolate this sound and ensure the right repairs are made.
