Aftermarket steering pump

Aftermarket steering pump
Just checking if anyone has high pitched noises coming from their aftermarket steering pump replacement. I have a high pitched sound when I turn the wheel left or right. A couple of mechanics told me that aftermarket steering pumps do that. If it is a problem out there would like some recommendations.

I am currently running Cardone pumps on the 99 Maxima and on the 91 Infiniti 45 without issue. Now I've read reviews that seem to be 50/50 on good vs. bad. So I might have been lucky. Also note the pumps were purchased over 3 years ago. Are you running an aftermarket high pressure hose? I've read about people having noise issues with aftermarket hose.

Don't jump to replace it too soon. I had a high-pitched whine that changed pitch when I turned the wheel. I was resigning myself to replacing the PS pump. Then one day my brake and battery lights came on, and the whine instantly stopped. I replaced the alternator and the noise never came back.
