A new P/S pump on a ford vehicle will usually have a little bit of whining noise right?

I installed a new P/S pump on my taurus, and makes a very very very small whining noise but u can barely here it. is this normal?

I'm a ford guy and it always does seem like the ford power steering is louder than other makes. Also, if you just replaced the pump there is probably a little bit of air still bleeding out of the lines so it may get quieter. Steer very slowly all the way from one direction to the other a few times when you're parked. That will help bleed it. Then check your fluid level again.
