I have adaptive steering and have that noise as well. It actually just started yesterday and drove me crazy. Should I bother taking it to the dealer or ignore it?

I wouldnt take it to the dealer. Each time you take your truck to the dealer, the odds of something getting scratched, stained, or broken increases. At least in my experience, i dont want someone fiddling with it so ill leave it be for now.

You might mention it to the service advisor if you use the dealer for maintenance/service. He'll probably say it's normal. That said it does seem to be a common behavior for the truck so I'm not going to worry about it. I can only hear it at idle with everything off. Turn on the AC or radio or put the truck in "drive" and I cannot hear the whine at all.
I brought this thread back up just because I became curious about the sound and had a couple of hours to dig into it to find the source.
These trucks are so darn quiet these days you can hear every little thing that makes a noise. Not really a problem IMO.

I to have the noise. It actually starts to sound like whinning then it begins to sound like fluid is moving around in there. I recorded it with my phone. You can only really hear it if the radio is off and quite in the cab, annoying as hell for a 75k truck. I put 37's on my truck so I though it was that but it appears not after reading this post. I do not have adaptive steering on my truck
