I hear a very rapid set of clicks, which is more like a buzzing sound. The best way to describe it is to liken it to the CIWS point defense gun:

You can fast forward to the 20 second mark for the sound.
Classic symptom of a discharged battery or a bad connection - either at the battery or the earthing strap of the engine.
The sound is of the starter solenoid chattering in and out.
My thoughts too. If the cable terminal was off there is a possibility of a bad alternator. but you wont know till you have a good battery.
And coil pack is correct.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. Lots of us got our info that way. There are lots of good helpers here.
