is the water pump smooth and quiet too?
if so, then start by changing/flushing the power steering fluid, yeah. i pulled out what i could with a dollar store baster and filled it, ran it and did it again 3 or 4 times. it helped quiet it down. i used the same dexron III i flushed the trans with.
spin the compressor too, if you didn't. those bearings go bad too occasionally.
in addition to spinning everything, see if ytou can move the pulley up and down. a tiny bit of looseness or play is good, but if there's enough to hear, that can be bad.
