i would check your fluid, and i am going to go against what alot of others will try and tell you. it is NOT normal, it may happen to alot of fords out there eventually but it shouldnt be like that. my car doesnt make a sound and neither does my 88 ford e350 van when i turn it even if i have it cranked all the way. Having said that, It does happen often to fords though.

last time I had a car that did that... it was pissing power steering fluid everywhere. But then again, it was really loud. Started out quiet but got louder as fluid levels went down.

it should only make noise if its starving or if the belt is loose

Take it somewhere that does power steering flushes. That usually takes care of the noise.
