Holding the steering against the stop puts immense strain on the power steering.

There is a pressure relief valve in the hydraulic pump to prevent the hydraulics springing a leak (which will make a hissing noise) but the noise you are hearing is probably the auxiliary belt slipping.

If it isn't the belt then suspect the pump.

Most cars give a groaning / squealing noise from the power steering if held on full lock - more noticeable when stationary or at very low manoeuvring speeds. Belts also squeal when they are damp or glazed through age.
