Default 2008 Tahoe Steering System Noise issue

Hello,
I am having a very frustrating issue with my steering system. When I drive for a good bit and turn my steering wheel it is making a grinding noise. The noise is also happening when I am parked as well. If my truck has been sitting around for a couple of hours the issue does not happen until I drive for more than 5-10 mins. I have checked my steering fluid and its up to spec. Whenever I turn there is no vibration in the steering wheel and there is no wear on my tires either. I took it to the shop and they were not able to recreate issue.

I was wondering if it coule be an issue with tie rod ends/ball joints wearing or my steering wheel pump.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pump may be failing....if there hasnt been any repairs made that could've got air in the system and the fluids full then the pump is probably going out

Is the noise inside or outside?
