2010 c300 humming/fan like vibration from steering wheel on idle

Just got a 2010 c300 last week and the other night I was hearing a low humming sound and vibration (like a fan) and wasnt sure where it was coming from. My AC and ventilation was off. Eventually I noticed it was coming from the bottom part of the steering wheel. See image below.


It's more noticeable when the car is idled. It's not so much of an annoyance (although sometimes I think my vent is on in low) but more of a concern. Is this normal?

EDIT: I think its vibration coming from the engine. I never had this on my c230 but I think I'm just going to ignore it for now and assume its normal.

If you placed your hand over it, did it stop?

Theres an engine whine that is normal on C300s but not a vibration. Have it looked at by the dealer.

Same here! Even some times you feel it from the top of the steering .. No clue what it could be ?!
