Any ideas are helpful. I really dont feel like tearing apart the dash on my new (to me) car and looking for noises. But if knew what was looking for or to replace I think would be something I'd be comfortable doing. Thanks guys.

Hi clkcrawford,
This is just a wild guess, but it sounds like the HVAC blower motor with seizing bearings. The motor tries to start but over heats and quits in short order. Then it cools just enough to try again... try this: pull the fuse or just disable it to isolate it. If the sound goes away, then you've got it. Also, test the heater motor on all speeds to see if any change takes place; but even though I can't isolate it from the film you posted, that's where I'd start! Be sure to let us know...
