I had the same issue this summer(well, it was bad for a while). I replaced with a remanufactured A1 Cardone. It pumped fine, but howled like crazy. Yes I bled and flushed it well. Then I warrantied it out for another, that one howled worse.
Then I spent the big bucks on a reman from the dealer. Quiet as a mouse, even smoother than the A1 Cardone junk.
Here's a video I took of the A1 Cardone. It's what all the parts stores sell.

Don't waste time with the parts store PS pumps - 80% seem to be bad out of the box.
Take your pump to a local power steering rebuilder and tell him to rebuild it and test it. I think I spent $40 or something for the rebuild and its been perfect
