Weird noise when TL put in Drive

The noise I am experiencing is exactly like the one in this video:


The noise will also be present if I'm at a stop light and have my foot on the brake pedal. When I let my foot off the brake pedal, the noise goes away.

Any ideas as to what is going on? It's driving me insane!

Check you power steering fluid. Sounds like it's low.

While checking the power steering fluid, if it looks creamy, milky or just ugly you will need to replace the fluid. Power steering flush is easy to do if you need it.

If after exchanging the PS fluid it still makes that whine (and it's not leaking and pulling air), you may have a worn out PS pump.

The noise I'm referring to starts at 0:16 seconds when put in drive and only audible in the cabin. Is it still the power steering pump? Thanks for all the replies so far guys!
