Steering noise

I have a simple problem, i think, and need some help. When i turn my steering wheel all the way to the left or right i hear a whine/squeek noise under the hood. Any thoughts or suggestions on what might be causing it?

It's normal.

If it's making a lot of whining when it's not ALL the way, then you may have a faulty Power Steering Pump.

Well my friend told me it was something about two piece hitting each other when you have fully turned the wheel to the max left or right not sure though. I know it's normal though.

Normal, but should be avoided. That noise means something bad is happening. I'm pretty sure your Civic manual says something about not holdin the wheel all the way left or right because it damages the power steering pump.
