Don't start the engine anymore. It does sound like a possible rod bearing failure.

Too intermittent to be a rod knock. Pop the valve coves and see what you can see. When did it start doing this? Did you over rev it? Any details would be great.

Not sure what is different about the updated video, but the sound quality is hideous. Stop running the car, pull the valve covers and see what is going on.

Hey mine sounded just like that after I replace a broken starter. It turned out to be a piece of the starter bouncing around in the inspection cover.
