It's the PTU that makes the barking noise. It transfers hydraulic pressure from one of the systems to the other when there is a measurable pressure difference, 500 psi. between the two. When the pressure drops, the PTU kicks in.

Answer: You are probably hearing the electric motor that moves the cargo door. The door is raised and lowered by an electric motor on many airplanes. Q: Why do Airbus planes make so much hydraulic noise before takeoff and after landing compared to Boeings?
The Airbus A321 study suggests that noise levels are higher in the rear of the cabin, near and behind the engines and propellers, and near windows. When you have a choice, moving to other locations in the cabin may reduce your noise levels.
During the day, when the air is warmer than the ground, noise energy from an airplane staying in the air, so while you can still hear it, it seems quieter. Conversely, at night, when the ground is warmer than the air, the noise is drawn down, making it seem louder.
Aircraft noise at high levels can be considered a stressor on the body, and research has found an association between high levels of aircraft noise and an increased risk of developing Cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Over the past 50 years, aircraft have reduced their noise output by 75% and this progress continues. Today's aircraft entering service have on average, a noise footprint that is 30-50% that of the aircraft they are replacing thanks to new engine and airframe design and technology.
Airplane noise can be very annoying, especially if you live or work near an airport, and you should know that experiencing that noise constantly can be bad for your health. Some of the negative side effects include high blood pressure, increased risk of stroke and increased risk of heart attack.
The “buzzing” noise is from the engine's fan. Let's see that why the fan makes such buzzing noise. All Airbus A320s are either fitted withCFM56–5 turbofan engines or with IAEV2500-A5 turbofans. They have a fan diameter varying from 1.5–1.63 metres.
Why are toilets so loud on airplanes? The toilets are loud on airplanes because they use the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the aircraft in order to flush them. They don't use very much water. Instead of using water and gravity, they use a partial vacuum.
Night flying restrictions or night-time curfews, including night flight bans, are any regulations or legislation imposed by a governing body to limit the ground-perceived exposure to aircraft noise pollution during the night hours, when the majority of residents are trying to sleep.
Less traffic and a cool breeze also make for a smoother flight, if you don't take into account unexpectedly bumping into clouds. On clear nights, there is less friction against the wings which makes for obstruction-free sailing across the sky.
In my own unscientific research, dozens of decibel readings I took on recent flights show where you sit makes a difference in how much noise you hear. Sitting next to or behind the engines makes for a noisier ride. Being near an exit door can up the decibels, too.
For most commercial airplanes, the seats closest to the front of the plane are the quietest. And although it's not always possible to get a front row seat, anything in front of the wing is preferable to seating behind the wing. The loudest row is just behind the wing where the engines are located.
1 Airbus A380 The Airbus A380 is the largest commercial passenger aircraft in the world, as well as the quietest widebody airliner currently flying. The A380's double-deck design and advanced noise-cancellation technology make it one of the quietest airliners in the skies.
