This happenned to my chevy cavalier. It sounded like the tire tread was rubbing against the frame or something. So I got under the car to see if the tire was scuffed or the dirt was rubbed off somewhere. Nothing. I took it to the Chevy dealer to get it checked out. The mechanic said that the Power Steering pump was bad and it would cost $400 and wouldn't you know it, it just went off warranty. I needed the car right away so I didn't get it fixed right then. So about a week later, I was checking the engine oil and I thought I'd check the power steering pump resevour,it was empty. I filled it to the proper level and drove a little and the noise went away. You'd think the mechanic would have checked that.
