Best Answer

If its like a repeater rifle going off, it often happens when the reservoir is filled with the engine running or the fluid level is very low; air gets into the pump and rack. Check fluid level then with the engine running turn wheels fully left, hold, then fully right and hold. Go for a drive hopefully the noise has stopped.
