steering noise

I'm hearing a new noise on my 146k '95. It sounds like "rrrUUUrrr rrrUUUrrr rrrUUUrrr" when I turn hard left or right. I think it's probably the power steering pump. I haven't noticed the noise before, though. Any ideas on what it is or why it's doing it?

I should mention that it happens both while in motion and when stopped.
