Can you describe in more detail this "vacuum sound"? Do the lights come on, is there gas in the tank?

Try depressing the brake, moving the gear shift from park to drive then back to park, take the key out, put the key back in, put your foot on the brake, and try starting it.

Vacum sound might be the fuel pump coming on.

You need to use a different description as vacuum sound is not enough. One thought is that your starter is failing (sound is the starter spinning but not engaging engine).
