It's called APU. And that is the powerunit in the aircraft, which is used to start the engines. If the APU is U/S (broken), they have to use an airstarter to fire up engine one (or two) at gate. The airstarterunit gives air to the engine, so it can start. And when it does, the engine makes enough power to start engine two. The APU is almost never running during turnarounds, because it uses a lot of fuel, and it's noisy as hell. The APU is started when the aircraft is getting ready to push.
@Gunnar125 like rubyportwine told isn't this the actual engines which were running, but the auxiliary generator which is here to give the aircraft the power for the air conditioning system, light and in the cockpit the functioning instruments.... sorry if i sound a little conceited but i love aircrafts and how they work :)
It is B737-700 but isn't B737-800.

It was only the "I don´t know how to call it" the very end of the plane. There is a hole, where air comes out and that was the sound.
