Not necessarily but 99% of the times a whining noise emanating from the pump depicts it to be damaged by friction. It has minute fins which can be scratched by contamination or usage of wrong oil viscosity or with an insufficient oil level.
Sometimes a blockage in the system (usually pipes/valves) causes it to wear out quicker and has to be replaced along with the problem diagnosed and repaired or the new pump will also wear out soon. Also change the oil and properly bleed the system for any air trapped within.

it could be air in your power steering system. check the fluid level and add fluid as needed.then to get the air out all you need to do is turn your steering wheel full left and full right(engine on ) do it 5 times and check your fluid level if is low add more keep it up until the noise goes away.('''it may take about 15-20 full turns to get rid of that noise''')ifafter all this the fluid keeps droping and the noise continues then you have a leak somewhere in the power steering system.
