The noise is probably caused from air in the steering system. To bleed the air out of the system, start the engine and turn the steering wheel back and forth slowly, but do not turn it all the way to the steering stops. Continue to do this for several minutes. The air will slowly bleed out of the system. If that doesn't stop the noise, then it could be the belt slipping.

excess mechanical drag from the pump can cause the belt to slip and squeal, but before focusing on the pump I'd check the condition, tension and alignment of the belt. I might even try cleaning all the pulleys with an aerosol brake cleaner and install a new belt, particularly if the current one has more than 50,000 miles on it. It might be that the squeal is coming from or caused by a different belt-driven accessory.
A more typical noise from a power-steering pump is a high-pitched whine, not a squeal. Usually, if the steering wheel is stationary, meaning that the steering rack is not "asking" for assistance from the high-pressure fluid from the pump, there's little or no noise

There is a screaming sound coming from the engine. I suspect fanbelt issues but I'm not sure. My service provider hasnt found a solution to it yet. The sound doesnt disturb anything but it grates in my...

A quick way to check for belt squeal is to crank the engine, open the hood, and get a can of WD-40. Spray the belts, this will cause the belt to temporarily quit squealing. Note that the squeal could be from a bearing from power steering pump, air conditioner, alternator, or anything else that has a bearing. Another thing to pay close attention to is the tension pulley, they will be a distinct squealing sound before going out and that may be your whole problem.
