A320 - sawing noise?

[TimV]

Hey

Pax a lot on the A320 variants. Always wondered, what is responsible for the noise that sounds like someone sawing a piece of wood just after the aircraft parks up at the stand. You hear it clearly if you are just aft of the wings, coming from below. Some kind of hydraulic system recharging/reinitialising?

The answer is not someone sawing wood. Anyone?

Come on guys I really cannot wait to hear the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was boeing cabin crew and I had to position with BA on the A320 in my uniform... I was so scared the crew moved me to the back next to where the Rear forward facing crew seat is! I felt so stupid! :O
