It's the intermediate shaft in the column. I had a 2002 suburban and my husband had a 2005 GMC Sierra. Both vehicles had to have this replaced. My 2006 Tahoe and his 2007 z71 don't have this problem. According to dealer techs, was a problem from 2002-2005.

How to remove steering wheel on a 2001 chevy tohoe

The knocking noise could be one of several things. The wheel bearing, a worn steering or suspension part, or road debris could be causing the noise.
I don't know, but I have the same problem with my 2011 Sentra. :(
It sounds like the inner steering shaft. I had the same problem on a 1997 Dodge Ram.
Whining noise near belts had pulleys adjusted any idea what is causing this
There is something wrong with your wheels or steering. You car is NOT safe to drive.
the steering wheel wont make the front wheels make noise as there is no generating source from the steering wheel. it will be the other way around.
Check the fluid in the power steering. If it is low the car will make noise when you turn the wheel.
The power steering pump pulley nut is loose. Or the power steering pump bearing is bad. On my 1998 it was just the loose nut.
soounds like steering wheel fluid needs to up
