Default Whining noise from engine bay

I'm getting a whine that increases with the rpms. If I put my ear right on top of where the Power Steering pump is the sound seems to come from there, but I just replaced the pump a few thousand miles ago.

Any ideas

Default I assume you checked the fluid? Timing belt?

Could be a lot of things. Is it due for a timing belt or tensioner? How about the serpentine belt tensioner? Both of those will cause the same noise.

Does the sound change when you turn the steering wheel?

Timing belt and serpentine belt and all related tensioners were replaced for the second time 35k ago

Steering has no issues whatsoever when turning
