What kind of noise was it making? When you try to start the vehicle up, does it crank over and is it a strong crank or does it feel like it is turning over very slow?

If it is cranking over very slow you could have a weak battery. You need to have the battery tested and have the charging system checked. Also have the shop do a voltage drop test across the positive battery cable. They go bad most of the time having high resistance.
