Default Whiny power steering pump

I was just wondering if this is normal for F-bodies? At about 2500 rpm and up this whining from the power steering pump seems to overtake the sound of the engine. The fluid id full and I have checked it over the past few weeks and its not leaking. Any ideas other than replacing if this is abnormal?

Nope its not abnormal mine does that too, as far as fixing it, i think the only thing to do is replace it or let it keep making that racket untill it wears out and needs replacing for sure..
