3rd Generation Buzzing Turn Signal Switch

I have a 96 LE and sometimes when I push the lever on the turn signal I hear a loud mechanical buzzing which goes away if I let go. Anyone else have this problem?

I have seen this problem on a generation 2. I think the switch itself is defective and the only remedy is to replace it.

i have it sometimes too, when i use the turn signal but dont click it down till it locks.
it seems to buzz when the stalk is at a specific spot, probably right between the lane change and turn positions.

My mom's gen 3.5 does this from time to time. It seems to happen when you press it down for a left turn signal.. I'll try fussing around with it later. I need to wash her car this weekend. It's realllllly dirty - now that I have my car, I've gotten lazy with her car. My car is still pretty clean (knock on wood!) so I should be fine for another week.

I have the same problem in my 93. There seems to be sweet spot on the switch contacts. Its a warning buzz to warn the passengers to hold on for a hard right turn.
