The first two steps would be to check the power steering fluid and check the serpentine belt and tensioner. ---

Also where is the noise coming from? Sometimes people start wondering where a noise associated with turning the wheel comes from when sometimes it is inside the car. Let us know if this is under the hood noise or in the cabin…each will have drastically different solutions.
