Default 2013 Lexus GS350 Wont Start.. Please help

I have a 2013 Lexus GS350 AWD F-Sport with around 79k miles, I started and drove the car today multiple times today with no issues. I went to start it just now and its not starting and making this noise. Can someone please tell me what could be wrong? Ive provided a video of me trying to start it. Thank you

Probably a dead battery, put a volt meter on the battery and see what it’s reading. 95% certain you need a new battery. You can take your old one out and get it tested, but just reading the date off the battery will good enough to know it's old and dead. This is what happened to my battery when it died, I charged it up with a battery booster, run car, after turning the car off, it would deplete in a very short amount of time to were I couldn't start the car again. When battery die they really die especially if you run it to the very end of it's life. When your battery gets older you can get it tested and replace it before it completely dies to avoid getting stuck in a situation like this.

Either the battery or the starter motor.

It's not the starter, it's that battery. If it was the starter he would be able to put the car in accessory mode with one push(everything would light up and the car would have power). That battery barely has enough power to light the instrument cluster, not even close to turning the starter.

Yup, sounds like a dead battery. Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago when playing around with Techstream with the car "ON" for awhile and drained the battery and went to try to start it, sounded the same as that but after charging it, it fired right back up.
