Either the fluid is low or the pump is about to die.

Air in the system which equals a leak.

You can have a leak in the PS system without actually leaking fluid.Most common issue for PS noise is small pin holes in the return line which is under a slight vacuum sucking in air causing noise.

Also been known on Chryslers to moan and the only fix is to extend(add) hose to increase the fluid capacity,granted more of a issue on minivans.

Did you check the fluid level? If that's good, then check out tjkj2002's suggestion. Just slightly low will give you an annoying groan.
