Default Power steering whine coming from when i rev?

I was coming home from work and after taking a turn and accelerating a bit i slowed down to take another turn and when i tried to match rev to get into a lower gear it sounded like my power steering starting to whine! So i stopped, put it in neutral and rev'd and it when the RPM's jumped the whine got louder. i pulled over and popped the hood and rev'd again and it sounded fine, but when i got in the car and did the same it continued with the power steering whine. when i turn the wheel tho, there has always been a slight whine and nothing was changed, but when i rev past 2k thats when it starts. any idea as to what this could be?
