Loud Power Steering Pump: Has anyone had this?

My power steering pump is very loud when at speeds less than 5mph like driving through a parking lot/deck. It does not seem to be a hot/cold weather issue, because after my 10 mile drive to work it should be hot, yet it still does it when I park.....

Anyone else had this? From my experience with other vehicles, dont they normally get loud when they are about to go?

Have you checked the fluid level? They sometimes "groan" when fluid is low.

And if it is, you have to ask why is it low?
