The "Wwwweeeeeehhhhhooooouuu! wwwweeeeeeeeehhhhooouuu!!" sound you describe is probably the PTU or power transfer unit which is really noisy on A320's but entirely normal especially on engine startup when it needs to pump hydraulics to the other side. You should be more worried about the car or taxi drive to or from the airport!
