Thanks UnitedSkies! I have been curious for some time now. That sound drives me crazy! A320's are a weird plane.

PTU (Power Transfer Unit).

This is a bidirectional power transfer unit which enables the yellow system to pressurize the green system and vice versa. The PTU comes into action automatically when the differential pressure between the green and the yellow systems is greater than 500 PSI.
