Eyes,
If it were my rig, I would drain and change the power steering fluid to see if the situation changes.

If not - I would take the rig in for servicing. Possibly a new pump is going to be needed.

A few links on cause and effect.

p.s.
Any time that I had a noise from a power steering system, it was either because the fluid was low - caused by a leak somewhere, or because the pump was ready to fail.

In either case - the noise is a warning of an issue with the system. Find and fix the defect.

p.p.s.
A video on Verado power steering:

Trouble shooting power steering issue - (listen carefully) - you may have to play the video a few times to understand the speaker.
