Default random buzzing sound

hey all!

so yesterday i was driving home from school and began to hear a loud buzzing sound coming from my car. I realized that when i would turn my steering wheel the sound became louder and it was harder to turn. my guess is that it's the power steering pump SAD FACE. any opinions on shops to visit near the West Covina area? Thank you!

You're low on power steering fluid, just add more... Check if you have a leak though.
