Weird noise when steering wheel is turned all the way left

uhhh maybe someone has had this problem before or knows what it is, when i turn my steering wheel all the way to the left i get this weird sound, it sounds like a bus or a big rig hitting its brakes to a stop, u know the "OOOOOOOOO" sound, its more of a musical note than any kind of grinding, can anyone tell me what it is? and how to fix it?

I get that too, especially right after I turn the car on, and I'm backing out. It's really annoying but it goes away after a while. I also get a..."spring/clicking" sound sometimes, but then again, my rack is leaking

I don't think you should be turning the wheel full left or full right anyway. It's probably the power steering system squeeling from being stressed.

CV Boot? I think there's supposed be some kind of sound while turning the steering wheel with a torn CV Boot, but I don't remember if it's an "ooooooo" sound.

I've always been told never to turn it all the way left or right. Apparently its really bad for the rack or something.
