What is a "normal" amount of noise from the power steering pump?

I have a 99 Eclipse RS manual with 163000 miles on it.
Had a leaky pump and rack.

This is what I have just done:

Replaced power steering Rack, pump, and lines.

I have flushed the system and put in fresh fluid.

With the engine running - I have bleed the system by pulling a vacuum on the reservoir as well as turning the steering wheel lock to lock multiple times (10 to 20) with the reservoir cap off. I have repeated this procedure 3 times and.....

I thought it would not make noise when I was done but....

The pump still makes noise while turning the steering wheel, but not at any other time. Is this normal? do all the eclipses do this?
