Weird starting noise

Ok well at first i thought it might have been a oil pressure issue. But now i have no clue what to think. I took a quick video of it this morning when i got to but my brothers house, it cranked over for a second but now it will not even crank over. I had it pluged up this morning for about two hours before i started it. It made the weird noise this morning too, but fired right up. My brother lives less than five mins away from me, but it was running for a good 15mins before i turned it off and tried again. I left it here at his house and plugged it up. I just checked the batteries they both have 12.54 volts.

Heres the link to the video
YouTube - Weird start up noise

All help would be nice.
Thank you

You got a dead battery or two. Take them to a battery shop for a load test.

Clean your connections first. If that doesn't solve your problem, have the batteries load tested.

Is that klunk sound after you crank it the wierd noise you're talking about?

well i found out what it is. The starter broke off the motor. Now i have to figure out if the bracket for the starter to the motor is replaceable. I just got the transmission replaced last month and havnt had it but 1000 miles since.
