Default Whining noise from motor/wheel

When I start my Audi up any time of the day there is a whinding noise, and when I turn the wheel left or right there is a whinding noise sometimes grinding noise like broken bones, I can mostly hear it from the driver side, the whinding noise is the loudest when I'm turning from a dead stop. Now the whinding noise is still there while I'm driving but not as bad as when I'm at a dead stop turning and when I give the car some gas the whinding seems to react with it as well, my steering wheel doesn't feel any different, there isn't and force behind it, the check engine light just came on, but the car drives perfectly, any suggestions on what could be the problem

Sounds like a power steering issue.

I'd take it to a local auto parts store to get it scanned for codes.
The noises are most likely coming from the power steering pump. Check the power steering fluid level and for any leaks.
