Noise when I turn steering wheel

Hi guys, I have noticed that my car would make this sound when I am turning the steering wheel (please see attached video). This only happens in the morning or after when I let the car sits for the whole day. Has this happened to you guys? Is power steering pump going bad?

Agree with fluid top-up

mine wasn't nearly as loud, but was definitely the same noise/resistance on first turn out of my parking spot after a day at work. I told my guy when i took it into the shop for new tires and service and they told me they just topped up my fluids. haven't heard it again since(yet).

Thanks guys for your feedback.

I do feel a bit of vibration / roughness from the steering wheel when I hear this noise. Also, I had my transmission fluid done while I had my car in for recent service (40K service I think?). Is there a chance that power steering filter or something had gone wrong?

lol, i couldn't hear anything at all.

Mine makes a creaking sound when cold...a bit like as though two dry rubber bushes are squishing and rubbing together. Happened since I the day I had the front end lowered with H&R springs.

Hope you get to fix yours.
