Yes, the vacume/power seering pump (they are connected together) will howl when cold. Kind of scary the first few times.
If it is the power steering pump, some have had good luck changing the fluid over to a semisynthetic like valvolene durablend power steering fluid. Others have used an additive (don't remember the name) in the steering fluid.
The noise is worse with brakes applied due to the increased demand for vacume. Do a search on both vacume pump and power steering, and you should come up with some more info. If the fluid levels are normal, not much to do about it besides what has been mentioned.
