You can try to get the sound with the stationary car, key inserted, but ignition off. There is no EPS function in that case, just as if the starter battery were disconnected. Then turn the steering and you will hear the "klunk". You could also have one person touching the steering gear and another turning the wheel, also with ignition off. You will see for yourself.
Are you saying you need the key in the ignition to turn your steering wheel? Mirages over hear don't even have a steering wheel lock of any kind. Someone could hop in and push it away.
