Steering column noise, anyone else . . .

When I first start the truck and turn the steering wheel to the extreme left or right, I get a "slurping" noise. Like a kid drinking the last of a fountain drink through a straw.

I assume it's some hydraulic line or something. Anyone else get such a noise?

It's possibly the canister for adaptive steering

The noise y'all are hearing at full lock is completely normal almost every vehicle/piece of equipment does this. Mine however, has a constant whining noise though that is quite annoying. Posted a thread about it a while back.
