Is the fluid level good..?

Jack up the car (on jackstands), top off the fluid, start the car, turn the wheels from side to side.

This fixed the noise problems I had on my teg.

thanks for the responses, the fluid is full and yes the noise becomes louder at higher revs.

Mine made that when part of the system broke. The pump started to heat up to 400+ deg according to my laser? The line from the pump to the rack collapsed inside and the fluid was going nowhere.
