To the ERJ pilots that we have on here, what is the high pitched squealing sound that’s heard from 2:20 to 3:30? I hear it every time I fly on one of these birds.

 
I believe you're hearing an electric hydraulic pump running.

When taxiing on one engine, an electric pump will engage to make up for not having both engine-driven pumps running.

That makes sense! It seems to cut off once they get the other engine fired up. I assumed it was something along those lines. Thanks!
