after starting '99 beetle it makes a noise like a kazoo!

how long does this noise last? if it lasts at least 30 seconds it could be the "secondary air pump". if it winds down immediately it may be the starter bushing (part of the starter). if it plays "when the saints come marching in" check the back seat for a stowaway clown.

you just over cranked your car lol...i have a Volkswagen beetle too..and i do it sometimes accidentally...its nothing bad or anything wrong with your car...it its a 5 speed...crank it in (N)..(middle gear) and crank it just enough to start the engine..it sounds like a high squealing " kazoo" sound though for real lol...

I have a 2000 Beetle that does the same thing. I tried starting in Neutral, no change. Did you figure it out?
