jetBlue noise

[bawitdaba]

Hey! I flew on jetBlue for the first time last week and it was also my first time on an A320. While we were at the gate, just before pushback, there was a real high pitched squeal that rang through the cabin for about 8-10 seconds. What was this noise? Is this noise unique to jetBlue or A320s in general? Because I don't remember hearing this on any other type of aircraft. Haha, maybe its on all aircraft and I just haven't noticed it. Thanks! <font color="blue"> </font>

Baggage door closing? Flaps being set for take-off? Did it sound like a motor?

I heard the same thing flying on a US Airways A-319 last week. I believe it is the baggage door closing.

I heard that when I went on an A320 about a year ago, i think it was the flaps.

flight attendant?

If it is the noise i think you are describing, it was the baggage door. We have the same plane basically here at Frontier and that really caught my attention the firs time also.

It most likely the baggage door, those airplanes make more weird noises than anything else.

If it was an annoying high pitched squeally sound, then i will have to agree with bluelake, for i am certain it was a flight attendant complaining and nagging the maintenance crew just prior to departure time
