I don't believe it's normal but you REALLY shouldn't dry steer. I wouldn't be surprised if your dry steering has done something to the steering motor.

I would say if you hear it mostly underground, then there's probably nothing wrong. Underground parking makes the whole car sound weird, all noises bouncing off the walls and ceiling..
I wouldnt worry about it, and I wouldnt dry steer too much underground or otherwise.

is it when you turn the steering to near it's fullest radius and you hear a grinding? I seem to have that, it's only when I have my stock rims and tires on that I get that
