It could be or more likely it could be loose or the fluid level could be low.
But the cute one is current Rovers and old Fords can wine just because they are built that way.
Its either because you are low on fluid and need more or the pump could be going bad. If its low on fluid the whining noise is the air in the lines.
Your power steering has a problem. It could be a broken part, or you may need a whole new set-up.
i have heard that noise and I believe it is coming from the body frame connection and i also heard that u can get a kit to eliminate the noise. Ed
squeaking noise coming from sleeve covered arm coming from steering column to the wheel
After bleeding the power steering the pump may make a noise because there isn't enough power steering fluid in it.

A grinding noise when turning the steering wheel on a Ford Escape may indicate issues with the power steering system, such as low fluid levels, a failing power steering pump, or worn-out steering components like the tie rods or rack and pinion. It's also possible that the noise is coming from the wheel bearings or suspension components. To diagnose the issue accurately, it's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. Ignoring the noise can lead to more significant damage and costly repairs.
Bad wheel bearing (Cv joint)? Bad tire - try moving it to another location on the vehicle and see if noise changes
also, check your power steering fluid levels. The noise you hear is the fuel pump.
