Noisy power steering pump
Ive replaced my power steering pump twice due to being noisy ive checked my fluid levels all good used the correct fluid and checked for bubbles all seem good. Truck is an 05 ram 1500 anybody elses pump noisy? Idk if it posted but heres a cideo of the whine i hear when accelerate.
The video didn't post.
Are you sure it's the PS pump? How did you isolate the sound to the PS pump?
There are a few ways to listen to components. You can get a mechanic's stethoscope, cut a couple feet of garden hose and hold one end on pump and other against your ear, or you can use the screwdriver inside of a funnel setup.
Other possibilities include water pump and pulleys. The high pitched noise will bounce and be difficult to isolate.

When I did the PS pump on my daughters car, I went thru three pumps before I got one that actually worked, and wasn't hideously noisy. It was still louder than I liked, but, after changing the pump that many times, (different brand pumps too...) I was tired of dinkin' with it.
Ive had all pulleys checked and belt replaced and ik its coming from the pump because ive turned the wheel from standing outside and i can hear the whine its not bad as the last one but its there its a lil fainter than the last one. But acceleration i can def tell its the pump

i used the correct fluid and a shop did the repair both times.

A shop did it? Must be right then. 
It costs you zero to repeat the bleed procedure. The one time in my life that I let someone else do an oil change on my car, the Honda tech left the oil cap off. Just sayin...
