I uploaded a video of my engine, there's a high pitch whirring sound coming out of it. I just bought this car, it has only 7500 miles on it, it's a 2013 model.

Here's another video with the same noise, saying it comes from power steering:

Definitely not normal. Sounds like a bearing is going bad. Take it to the dealership and have them replace the power steering pump. Should still be under warranty.

The noise, whatever may be causing it isn't normal. Take the car back to where you purchased it to have warranty work done.
