Check your Power Steering fluid. If its low top it off if it goes away that's great but get it to a garage because power steering fluid wont just vanish, if its low its leaking. If fluid is full you most likely will need a power steering pump.
The type of noise you are talking about can be made from low fluid which causes air to get into the pump causing it to make a "whrrrrr" ing like noise. However the internals of the pump itself can start to fail also and make this same noise.
When accelerating the pump spins faster causing the noise to increase. When making a turn you are increasing the load on the pump making it work harder to assist you in turning which also will cause it to get louder.

What could cause the transmission on a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan to make a shuddering sound while the engine is idling but it stops when accelerating?
This vehicle is notorious for a "whining" noise. The slower you drive, the louder it is. At first I thought our power-steering pump was going, or the transmission was whining. Two mechanics told me it's normal. Just a quirk with Dodge/Chrysler products. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. even when the radio is off. Just a thought.
What does it mean when a car makes a straining or whining sound when you accelerate?
When a car makes a whining sound when accelerating, it might be a fan belt that is not performing properly. If the fan belt is reasonably new, add a few drops of dish soap to the inside to quiet it. If the fan belt is showing signs of wear, like cracks or slack, put on a new fan belt. Also, check the air cleaner. If the air cleaner is missing, the car will make a horrible squealing noise when accelerating.

Check the power steering pump for the cause of the noise. I sounds like the pump is causing the whining and is either low on fluid or possibly going bad.
