Inquiry about the steering wheel.

[LostintheSea]

Greetings,

In my recent observations, I have detected a faint whistling sound emanating from the front windows while doing low-speed maneuvers, particularly when parking, while the windows are open.

Should I express concern on this matter? I remember (with some uncertainty) that this occurrence was not taking place before.

All comments are welcome and much appreciated.

Thank you for your response.

Greetings! or Hello! The belt may need replacement or the power steering fluid may need to be replenished. Are there any instances of decline or decrease?

[LostintheSea]

There are no instances of liquid droplets or seepage. Is it more advantageous to have the power steering fluid replaced? Initially, it is advisable to prioritize the replacement of the serpentine belt due to its inherent difficulty in being replaced.

The car has accumulated a mileage of 139,000 kilometers, by the way.

It should be noted that the aforementioned noise is perceptible only during periods when the engine has reached a state of elevated temperature, and is not present during instances when the engine is in a cold state.

The notion of a liquid as the initial state seems to be a rational proposition.

On the present day, I had a replacement of the serpentine belt and a comprehensive inspection of all tensioners. The auditory disturbance often referred to as a "whistle" persists, but with reduced intensity. According to the mechanic's statement, if the issue persists even after the replacement of the belt, it is possible that the hydraulic steering wheel pump is the underlying cause.
Are there any other recommendations for items to be inspected?

What was the duration of your driving subsequent to the alteration? The process of removing air from the system may need a few hours.

[LostintheSea]

The duration of the service commute to one's residence is a mere 30 minutes. I will reevaluate the matter in the next days. Thank you for your assistance.

The intensity of the noise seems to have diminished after the completion of an oil change over the course of a few days.
I am optimistic that the issue will be permanently resolved.
