Sounds like metal shavings. Very fine.could be from pump or from the rack n pion steering.

Does the pump make any noise?

Remember, when you changed out the fluid, even though you put in new fluid, there was a certain amount left in the lines and steering. Probably normal as that would have caused your clean fluid to get grey.
