Default 2013 Touring - steering servo whine and brake buzz

There is an audible noise like a servo motor whirring/whining when I turn the steering. Its not loud but its noticeable. What could this be ? Any lube/maintenance I could do to make this go away ? It wasn't there before.

Another noise bothering me is that when I brake and coming to stop I hear a buzzing sound - almost like a chainsaw type of noise. Its only the last moment right before the car comes to a complete stop. Its faint but dont have to try too hard to hear it either. Perhaps more noticeable when car is cold - in the first few stops after starting the car. What could this be ?

Did you check your power steering fluid lately? Or could also need to be flushed. I had weird noses coming from my steering as well and flashing the fluid fixed it.

Op, take it to the dealer, how many miles are on it? you may still be under warranty. a google search chows this is a common occurrence and could offer you a solution
