How loud is it?  Mine doesn't make any noise really

Could be a pulley / belt / tensioner or the rack itself could be on the way out

Check the power steering fluid level first

Get the alternator pulley checked as well - Sounds daft but is also a well known problem that can be confused for power steering issues.

You will get a very slight noise from the power steering pump on full lock, but shouldnt be much. Just drive it on till something packs up completly lol
