I think you should first check the power steering fluid level

If the fluid level is correct and the power steering is still noisy you could havee a failing pump. But before contemplating repairs I'd suggest flushing the system with the correct fluid. The fluid type should be marked on the cap of the reservoir. If someone has topped up the system with the wrong fluid there will be problems.
