Mazda 323 Battery Problem

After a few days of not driving or starting my mazda 323, it will not start. When I turn the key all I can hear is a honing sound like something is being charged. After a few attempts of turning the key and hearing that "sound," the car would then start. What can be the problem? We replace the starter a few years back. Thanks.

Where is the noise coming from and can you describe it in more details? Try cleaning and retightening the battery terminals.
