It could be just running low on power steering fluid mate.have a quick check and top up if needed.Mine was making a funny noise a few months ago when it was a bit low.

The next thing worth checking is the tightness of the belt.It might need adjusting.
If its coming from the pump but it isn't too loud I wouldn't worry too much unless it's annoying.
Mine can be heard a little when I'm driving but I'll wait for it to get a bit noisier before changing it.
