Faulty Power Steering pump, bad power steering fluid, insufficient or excessive power steering fluid.
A whining noise present when turning the steering wheel indicates a faulty power steering pump. As the pump fails, it allows air to enter the system and a distinct whine.

If the sound is a loud growling , whining, noise you're probably low on power steering fluid. Now the cause of the fluids loss is WHERE ?
I heard it was an intermediate steering shaft and cost around 130.00 dollars
Faulty power steering pump, low fluid level, and improper belt tension are the most common. It can be causes by damaged or restricted power steering lines, steering gearbox, steering rack and pinion, seized tie rod ends, strut mounts, ball joints, over sized tires, and so on. If you hear a whining noise while engine is running suspect fluid loss or damaged power steering system component. If noise is more of a creek or squeak over bumps or while turning the wheel (no noise while engine running and not turning wheel or moving in gear) suspect mechanical steering or suspension component.
It is the alternator....

Could be low on P/S fluid and/or has air in the P/S system.
