That sounds like your power steering pump making noise. Check your fluid levels, and look for leaking under your car. See if the substance that is leaking, (if it is), smells like oil, antifreeze, power steering, or is it odorless water from the A/C? Repost your findings if you need further help

You can also check the tension on the belt. When my 94 GA was cold and when I would try to turn the wheels, my power steering pump would chirp like crazy. I tightened the belt and it fixed it.
