Default Power steering making a whirring noise

Hi, is this normal or is the pump starting to fail? Sounds like it's constantly running but steering wise there's no issues. Fluid is normal but just brought the car so not used to any abdominal sounds!

Thanks in advance

Is the battery light on? Power steering can run on when the engine's not turning if the alternator is missing or defective, check connections on the alternator.

I had the same problem, turned out to be the alternator as said above.
