It makes the sound once the car is in motion. if i stop the car and turn the wheel it does not make the noise.

If it was power steering fluid it would more than likely happen while the car is sitting still as well. There is actually less resistance to turning wheels when the car is in motion.

Probably a wheel bearing. Does it happen when you turn one way or both.

How many miles are on it. You might need new bushings or a new rack and pinion.
