Is your mother-in-law or wife in the SUV?

You'll need to take a mechanic's stethoscope and start probing until you find it.

Yes, use a stethoscope. You are lucky the whine can be heard at idle. One thing you can do is take the pulley off and turn each pulley by hand. If you are lucky it’s just an idler pulley or tensioner pulley. How many miles?

There are plenty of you tube videos on this.

Power Steering Pump. Some are noisy, some are quiet. GM says it's normal. Mine's been doing it for 14 years now.
