Default slight squealing when turning

Ok i know its a stupid question but when i give full lock on the steering wheel I'm getting a slight squeal
im hoping it might just be a slipping belt but thought someone might know if the power steering pump makes any noises if it's on it's way out

Thanks in advance

Similar to mine & it was found to be the power steering pump, changed the belt at the same time.
