Power-steering pump belt worn or low fluid in the power-steering pump reservoir - its a well-known problem.
Almeras seem to get through power-steering fluid pretty quickly, as compared to other cars, although the pump itself is generic AFAIK (Denso / Bosch / Borg-Warner ?). I can only conclude that the plumbing might be problematic. Topping up the fluid is usually enough to cure the problem, then keep an eye on it.... mathepac - do you mean well known with Almeras or generally?...

... There are of course other possibilities - alternator brushes / bearings, water-pump, worn belt tensioners, belts, etc.
Have you checked the fluid level?
