Default whining noise

took our 2013 Altima SV to dealer yesterday. Our issue is there is a whining noise only on initial start up for 1 or 2 minutes. To me it is clearly a hydraulic pump beginning to fail as this noise didn't surface until about 4,000 miles. I didn't know if it was steering pump or torque converter. Dealer told me it is the steering pump and is normal. I simply wanted a service record as I know that sound and this pump will eventually fail.
