Default Clicking / Grinding Noise

Hi there,
I have a 2003 Mustang convertible (V6). Recently, I've had a clicking / grinding noise, that is most noticeable when turning, but still happens sometimes when going straight, or sitting parked. I went a few days without the noise, but then it started up again today (a few minutes after turning the air conditioning on - I have no idea if that's relevant or not). In case it helps, here are a couple short videos I took of the noise, one when driving, one with it parked.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Sounds like a bad power steering pump to me. Good luck...

Judging from the sound of it and that it quits when your cooling fan shuts off
check the blades of the fan , sounds like they are hitting something like the shroud, or something is hanging into it.
