If the car is running at idle speed while you are turning, the Power Steering pump has to push a lot of fluid with little power. If it sounds like a slight creaking, then it's normal. If it is a high-pitched squeal, then the serpentine belt may need to be tightened or replaced. Either way is not that big of a deal. If it is a grinding noise and you can feel a jerking motion as you turn the steering wheel, then you have a serious problem and need to take it into a mechanic.

It could be low Power Steering Fluid. You should refill it with the proper fluid as recommended by the manual.
