It sounds more like a big fan, DRRRRRR... 6-7 sec in the video
It is kind of difficult to tell the difference in the video, but that DRRRRR sound has been there on every cold start up. Definitely doesn't sound like anything related to the engine, more like a motor.

That was hard to hear clearly - but my guess would be the flex pipe leading down from the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter.
It might be a good idea to have someone else start the car while you listen under the hood?
