If it is really from the column, then it's likely that the cover over the indicator switch is catching on the steering wheel, which is not running completely true - could be a worn felt bush. Try oiling the felt (just drip oil down the central column) and also adjusting the switch cover by slackening the three small screws that hold it in place - a chubby screw driver is very useful for doing the one on top.

Doesn't sound the same noise, but I have an earth tab that runs on top of the steering column just by the front parcel shelf. It squeaks... so I use a bit of WD40 every now and again.
