The noise at starting sounds like a bad jumper cable connection. The clamps on cables are not contoured well to conform to a battery post and therefore there is a high resistance, check those connections. It is normal to make the grounded frame connection on the car that has the dead battery, not the other way around, although not sure if in practice it would matter, something to try though. You can aways charge the battery as an alternative.
