Strange noise

Hello all, I have a 2003 deville dts 147k. It seems like whenever the steering wheel is straight, I get a king of high pitched vacuum noise but if I turn the steering wheel even slightly off center the sound goes away. I was thinking that maybe there was some kind of steering assist that was being bypassed with the wheel straight, but that's just a guess. No power steering leaks at all. Just wondering if anyone knows what this sound is.

Power steering fluid level is good. Not sure if the fluid has ever been changed but it doesn't look filthy. I don't think it's a belt slip issue. Especially since I only get the noise when the steering wheel is perfectly straight. Car has always done it in the year that I have owned it. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this.
