Noise sounds like starter spinning ,might be flat battery . Could try jump start or charge battery if flat . If not that , check starter .

try taking starter motor out and cleaning it out with brake cleaner and bench test it to check operation

has the timing belt ever been changed on the car?if not then would strongly recommend you get that done.
