A few questions I am curious about regarding Jets.

Hi all.
I am just wondering as to what noise the aircraft actually makes while it is on ground before/after passengers board the aircraft?

I believe the engines start at pushback, but why the noise before that?
I am not 100% sure about this, but I believe the fans on the engines are moving while aircraft is on ground (before start of engines), why is that?

Lastly, when a jet aircraft banks to the right for example, why does aileron barely deflect at all?
Right turn bank, quiet a steep one as well on the flight I was sitting on today, and the right aileron barely deflected up.

Lastly, do the spoilers always automatically go up/down on the fly by wire jets to help bank an aircraft?

Sorry for all the questions.
Thank you in adv
