Default Power steering noises when running hard?

08 A6 base
255 front/305 rears
Z06 big brakes conversion
TSP longtube headers w/ off-road midpipe
SLP Loudmouth (no mufflers) axleback
K&N Air filter
Dyno tune

Is it normal for your car's powering steering to sound loud when running hard?
at least I think it's the power steering or something?

It happens whenever I do burnouts and donuts and what not. Is this normal?

Here is a video of my dyno run. But only the beginning can you here what I'm talking about.
Thanks!

Obviously sounds louder in cabin and in person
Camera mics dont pick up how loud these cars really are

Could it just be the belt or pulleys (Continental Gatorback so the belt wont squeak lol) sounding this way when running "hard" and hotter?
