power steering noise....

Hi, I recently changed the high pressure hose for the power steering system
and tried to get excess air out by turning wheel from left to right stoper to stopper. It's been about two months now and i still get a whine from the pump. Im wondering if there is a way to get anymore air out or did i put hose on wrong? thanks

Bleeding procedure per fsm:
1. Raise front of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground

2. add fluid into tank to specified level, turn steering wheel quickly from left to right,lightly touching the steering stoppers..repeat procedure until fluid level stops going down..

3. Start engine, then repeat step 2 with the engine running...

That whine might not go away. My green one leaked and I finally changed the hose but I think the low fluid level damaged the pump. It still works fine and it has been about 9 months. My daughter plays the stereo loud and I am the only one who notices

just to make sure, after you bleed the system are you topping off the fluid?

seems like an obvious thing to do but is often overlooked
