Sounds like the ignition switch.

How heavy is your keychain? If you've got lots of stuff on there, try
removing the key from the chain and using it on its own. If that doesn't
help, the switch is probably bad.

With the engine off and the key turned to II, and you turn the key, slowly,
ever so slightly, in either direction, can you induce a buzzing or clicking
noise?
