This symptom sounds electrical, back in the day when we used to upgrade our plug wires to performance "non-resistor" type there often would be a buzzing noise that would mirror the revs of the engine thru the radio.
My guess would be a faulty resistor in the system somewhere or a bad ground.

Just a guess based on past experience.....

Other than having 12 recalls and the shocks giving out before I reached 40k miles, nothing to report!

All I know is it wasn't there when I drove it off the lot and in less than 15,000 miles it slowly got louder and louder. My 2011 2500 had the same issue.

Did anything ever get resolved with your truck. I have a '18 3500 Big horn 6.4 and have had this same annoying sound. It does seem to change tones when the steering wheel is turned slightly in either direction. The sound is a bit louder when the temp outside is cold. My dealer pretty much blew me off when I asked them to look into it. It sucks to drive around and and instead of hearing the sound of my engine I hear what I can only describe as a power steering pump failing.

Hey Jeff,

I certainly understand why this would be concerning. If you are able to get an appointment scheduled, perhaps even with a different local dealer, please know that we would be more than happy to connect you with a case specialist for an additional layer of support through that process. Our team is just a private message away to get the process started.
