Default annoying noise under bonnet

Hi i have a very annoying nosie under the bonnet of my wrx, its like a whining nosie coming from the alternator or power steering pump but cannot figure out which is the problem. the nosie is very load when driving and even louder when u put your foot down, louder then the rumble from the exhaust.

Check the power steering reseviour and make sure there is enough fluid.

Sounds like the pump has died.

Hold a long bar on each component & listen through it, the loudest is the faulty one.

Also check the tensioner for the Aircon belt, mines past it and whines like a supercharger.
