It is hard for me to explain.

Yeah, Cameron, I re-listened to the first video and could hear it while you were accelerating, but it seemed to get louder when you were turning left. I suppose that's because you were going slower and there was less wind and road noise.

At any rate, from what I do hear, it really does sound like your power steering pump. Actually, it sounds like the noise it would make when it's low on fluid. Silly question, I'm sure, but have you personally checked the power steering fluid after getting it back from the stealership? Also, have you visually inspected under the hood, as well as under the car, for any leaks?

I found this video and was wondering if this is similar to the noise your car is making?


Hopefully, others will chime in and offer their feedback and advice. Good luck with the situation, though.
