There is air in the power steering line. It needs to be bled. In order to do that take top off power steering reservoir and turn wheel from left to right until lock and on both sides meaning turn it l/r until you can't turn anymore.Don't hold it there just keep turning until the whine goes away. If you don't bleed system pum will go out again.
Make sure your using power steering fluid recommended for the vehicle. If automatic transmission fluid it aerates causing bubbles. It's very similar to the effect of shaking a bottle of liquid detergent vigorously when half full. Having that much air in the system can cause it to whine very loudly and reduce the life of the pump.
