    Did it turn over as well? Or what?

    Or was it just like a "Wheeeeeeee" noise, and the motor not turning at all? Could just be the starter not throwing out, you are hearing it spin but not engage. Try a better battery, better connection to your jump batteries or just disconnecting your main battery
    and just being connected to your jump battery.

    check your starter motor bolts and wiring as they are known to become loose over time and this could be the reason (it happened to my partner and he had the whislting noise too in his vs and it was his starter motor bolts one was missing)
