I was pretty surprised by this as I would not have thought the power steering was doing anything unless the steering wheel was being turned. Even stranger, to me at least, that it is affected by revs.
Anyway, hopefully this goes away soon enough and it is good to know that it is nothing to be concerned about.
Thank you very much for responding here. I really appreciated it.

Is the belt to the power Steer a single belt EG: Doesn't also drive the alternator and water pump?
If that's the case can you take the Pwr Steer belt of and start the car to hear if the noise is gone, since you said its there in neutral?
