Welcome to the Forum!
So does this happen while moving or only stationary? Did you bleed the power system properly after dumping the fluid and replacing the reservoir?

It is all the time. Really bad when turning the wheel setting still but when I raise the RPM it is not as bad. When I step on the gas to go around a corner and the rpm goes up the noise gets better but when pulling in a parking the sound goes up and the vibration gets bad. The fluid is moving in the reservoir.

Still didn't answer my question: Did you bleed the system, and do you know how?
Just in case you don't:
1) Fill the reservoir to the max on the stick
2) Raise the front of the car off the ground
3) Go lock to lock on the steering wheel 5 times with the motor off
4) Check the fluid level to ensure it hasn't dropped below the Min.
5) Lower the vehicle and start the car, should be just fine.
Now if you are still having problems, I would think it is the pump going bad.

Gee, I'd wonder about the motor or transmission mounts?
