Well spotted, klordger. My head is still in a spin from our two month tour of the UK (and Paris -- drove 9000 km, and took 13,000 photos).
I checked my photos and the "big red thingies" were only spotted at Gare Du Nord. I only heard this whine from behind the barrier out of sight of any trains at St Pancras, and when I saw the BRTs at GDN, I just did a mental burp and "saw" the same BRTs at SP. Yep, only Eurostar at SP afaics, So it must be the high speed (large?) cooling fans slowing down.
Thanks to all for the enlightenment, Cheers, A.
