Power Steering Pump Removal & Installation

The noise sounds like a jet engine but not that loud. Before, the noise will dissapear after a couple of minutes. Then last month, it became continous.

Sounds like my issue....I described it recently to a Porsche tech "as a nearby neighbor's string trimmer" running. High pitched whine, goes away as I back out of garage, seems noticible only on cold starts. He mentioned secondary air injector noise and normal, however this sound was not there during my 1st month of ownership. Does this sound like a power steering pump going bad?
