What year / engine / model is your truck?
The fluid most likely shot out the vent hole in the cap
It can drain half the reservoir in 2 seconds if you turn the wheel with the engine off
Yours may have done it with the engine running if you were plowing heavy and cranking the wheel hard

Same as in the video below (noise)

There are definitely conditions that increase preasure in the system, but not sure why that even matters, the problem is that it leaks. The source of the leak is all I would care about if it were my truck.

2022 F250 still has no rack right?
You should be able to see evidence of it shooting out the cap, if that is where it is leaking
Should have fluid from hell to breakfast, under the hood, if that is the case
The whine is the lack of fluid / air bubbles running thru the pump
A rack and pinion can store about 2 quarts of fluid in the boots before any hits the ground
The newer style ZF pumps usually will not shoot fluid out the cap
4 wheel drive should make no difference
