Is it a groan or a whine? Power steering pump? Turn the wheel back and forth while stopped and listen for groaning/whining.
No, it's from the engine lol. I have electric power steering remember?

I am 100% sure it's the engine, because it's load dependent. It sounds exactly like when you slow down on a hill and your engine starts to lug (yea I should be shifting down, but I'd rather roll along for as long as possible)
