Default EEERRRRRRRRR Sound at low rpm....

When I pull out of the drive way I notice a EEERRRRRR sound at low rpm in all gears. I stopped and reved the engine. Its only at low rpm on a rev but is more consistant when driving with a load on the engine. I checked the fluids and my Power Steering Fluid ( I think) is low, below the MIN line. Could that be possibly what is making that noise? I looked at the cap and it said something do to with mineral?? What type of power steering fluid do you use?

I use PENTOSIN CHF 11S
Sound should be worse when you turn the wheel.
