There are lots more moving parts that can whine under the hood besides the Power Steering. There's the water pump, the oil pump, any number of rubber belts, the alternator can also whine, as can the air conditioner pump. Could be the bearings in any of those devices too ... with the engine running, take a wooden broomstick (with the broom removed) and put one end on each part and put your ear to the other end. This lets you hear exactly what is going on inside those engine parts.

What would cause a whining noise while accelerating?
Whining noises often come from the alternator or the steering pump. Check the power steering fluid in the pump (there is a dipstick on the pump), and have an AVR test done on the alternator. If the alternator is faulty, you are probably having battery problems as well. If the steering pump is low on fluid or is faulty, you probably are experiencing jerky steering from time to time.
