Check whether the power steering fluid level is low and whether the belt is loose.

or the pump is going

the fluid is full and there are no leaks

jack up the front, have someone turn the steering wheel slowly while you hold the road wheel, feel for the rack jerking, if it does, you need a rebuilt rack as the seals are blowing by inside or a valve is sticking, probably a seal as you can hear the weird noise.

Is the PS belt slipping?

I vote for power steering pump going out.

Just do this to rule out the power steering first...

loosen the tensioner(s) on your ps bracket and remove the belt. Now start the car and turn the wheels as you were before and see if the sound stops or continues. If it stops, your ps pump is going out, if it continues, your ps pump is good still and the issue is something else
