Starter valve opening at 0:11, fuel ignition at 0:22 (the sexy power noise :D ), and starter valve closing around 0:40. The engine then is stabilized at idle at 0:50.
@sentrymechanic It's here a CF6-80. Fuel comes at mini 15%N2, wich is very low (CFM56's, GE90's and most other engines have the fuel valve opening at 20%N2).
What makes the nice whistling sound at 0:20?

Lots of whisting here, you've got the APU jet whine, the bleed air and air starter exhaust whistling. Maybe also the AirCond Packs running... :)

@squidlybytes CF-6-50s get fuel added at 10%-15% N2 and the starter cuts out around 42% If I remember correctly

And start valve closing is at 50% max on most engine. 70% for the GE90 (pretty surprising the first time you see that).

Based on the markings on the engine casing, definitely Air France.
