Good Evening

I tried to start my car this afternoon and it would just click a couple of times without starting. I did this a few times. This happened a couple months ago while getting my car washed. I believed they left something on. Took it by the dealership and they tested the battery. It showed it was good. Today, got the same issue but eventually after a few times it started up as normal. No warnings on the dash. Prior to it started up, there was loud clicking noise coming from inside even while the car was completely off. See video. Does anyone know what this is and if I should be worried? I've had the car since 4/1/16, it has about 38,000 miles on it. I've been noticing a couple errors that would pop up when I would start the car but from what I've read online it was false issue notifications due to having the HondaLink app installed on my phone and linked to my car. Has that changed? Any help is appreciated. I've been really disappointed in the infotainment in the 2016 Honda, are the newer models any better?

Yeah I ear now .
Look a starter relay did not receive enough current from battery = clicking noise
Or starter itself is defective ( short ? )
Or bad contact between stater, relay , battery

Good luck
