    I've had my Prius for about 1 month and love it. I've noticed that when it is quiet i can here a very light noise when turning the wheel and the power steering motor is working. It's a very faint sound resembling shhhhhh. The sound could just be the normal power steering sound but wanted to see if others are experiencing this.
