Default whining sound in power steering area!!

Whining sounds (like the sound of the gears goin reverse)
its in the area of the power steering pump...
its always constantly whining...and gets louder as i accelerate

timing belt is like a little loose
other drive belts are fine

what can make all this noise? it sounds like its dying

check your power steering fluid out. not sure if thats what it is, but ive done little things like that before and pulled my hair out for nothing.

I had a car with a leaking power steering pump and everytime I heard it I knew I had to add fluid
