Take off the belt and see if the noise is still there.

If it is wind, then possibly the fan. If it's a whine, I would suspect the power steering pump or idler pulley.

does ti get worse if you turn your steering wheel?
if yes, P/S pump
if no, remove your serpentine belt and check your pullies for play
