Something vacuum related maybe?
Vacuum related will be tough to track down. As heard in the video, the noise doesn't last long enough to do much tracking.

I know the whining noise at the PS pump that you speak of. I also had this noise when turning the steering wheel and my fluid was low. The fluid is no longer low. This current noise doesn't correlate to turning the steering wheel.

I only have this noise when starting the engine. I only get the noise on the first start of the day (more noise on cold mornings than warm mornings). Subsequent starts do not make this noise.
