Didn't seem to before but just tonight I took it for a test drive and while backing into my drive I turned the wheel slightly and the noise seemed to increase a tad. That's when I started wondering about the pump. Thanks!

944's use brake fluid instead of power steering fluid for steering.
Mine whined for years, until someone let me in on the little secret.
I now have about 7 million spare power steering pumps in my garage if you need one
Probably not the cause, but rule out wrong fluid, since 'warmer' fluid seems to fix it.
Yes & thanks, Leaky - good to check out. I did some snooping and read through some Silverado forum threads as well as watched some YT vids and I may try to do a fluid change first to see if it changes anything. There are some additives and also different fluids to consider.

Thought this was a well done video.....
