I just did the full timing belt change. I changed timing belt,water pump, timing belt auto tensioner, balance shaft belt, ps belt, alternator drive belt, crank seals, balance shaft seal, and cam oil seals.

After it was done I noticed a "whining" noise everytime I climbed through the RPMS (climbing RPMS meaning when I am cruising through the gears). It sounds like something is not on right. The car runs perfectly fine as it actually feels like it runs better then before.

Does anyone know what this "whining" noise may be coming from?

i have the excat same prob. My mech said it was normal. Let it run in it will be ok after some time.

a cheep water pump can do that

it sounds like the water pump. if the belt is tight it put pressure on the bearing in the water pump causing it to whin. with the auto tensioner theres nothing you can do and its pretty normal. check the belt and see if there is any unusual wear if not its probably fine.

Would lower power steering fluid cause that constant whining through the RPM's?

No. Power steering whines when you're turning the wheel if you're low on fluid or a bad pump.

The whining you're hearing is from an overtentioned belt or a bad water pump.
