Car won’t start. no warnings. help!

Today when I was going to drive somewhere and found my car won’t start any more, no warnings on the dash. It was all good like 2 days ago. It’s like my car is struggling to turn on but can’t make it. Attached is the video so we can hear the struggle sound. Any idea is appreciated.

More than likely it is a dead battery. A battery can go dead without warning. Did you try "jumping" that battery to see if the car would start? How old is your battery? Good shape? Are the positive AND negative terminals clean AND tight?

Get your battery tested and recharge/ replace as needed.

Thanks for your reply, I've owned this car for around 2 years never had any problem never changed the battery since I bought it from someone. so I'm not sure when was the last time the battery was changed. I checked the terminals they are connecting tightly. I haven't tried "jumping" that battery, just don't know how, probably i'll just put a new battery on since I feel you're right it was all good 2 days ago without any symptoms.

thank you again, never met this situation before so your reply is very helpful to me.

Check water level under the caps. Refill with distilled water if chambers are low. Replace with optima redtop and never mess with water since its sealed gel battery
