You were hearing it with the hood up and you standing looking into the compartment...
or while you were driving it ?

Check the belts. You might have broken the PS belt and the others might be loose or it's time for them to be replaced

If you know what your power steering pump looks like...
Does it have it 's belt still turning it ?
Are there any fluids on the ground ?

I'm guessing he snapped his pressure hose on the pump.

Since the squeaking continued... look for that cause also... and the cause of that one coming off...

Right if the PS pump froze for example that could explain the noise and why the belt fell off.
