power steering pump noise

I have replaced the pump, high pressure hose to rack and the rack at the
same time. The steering centers firmly but when the steering wheel is
moved off center you can hear the pump. It is not very loud but I am
concerned because the reason I had to replace all these components is
that the old pump was staining before. A new high pressure hose blew
off it fitting running the pump dry. Also the instructions for both the
pump and rack said the Banjo bolt on the pump outlet to rack must be
matched to the number stamped on the label of the pump. Neither of the
two Audi dealers had a clue what I was talking about. I did flush out
all the old hydraulic fluid prior to installing new parts.
Could someone please respond and describe what is normal-- car has not
run correct for a long time.
Thanks
