Any B6 Owners power steering noise or fan?

Test drove a 2015 B6 Was very pleasantly surprised by the car. However after a short but spirited run ending on the highway I heard a small wrrrrrrr noise similar to that of a expiring power steering rack or rack and pinion low in fluid. It changed tune and volume as I move the steering wheel right and left. The salesman of course tried to claim it was due to engine fan. Is this normal for the B6? Car is without warranty <40k only 48k miles.
