Normal Engine Idle?

Does my engine idle sound normal? I heard a weird whirring/rattling noise, when my wife started the car which lasted for a few second the other day. I haven't been able to recreate it, but it sounded like it was coming from the radiator intercooler area.

I think I'm paranoid now, but I hear a faint clicking noise now.

Sounds like injectors. It's normal.

if its the constant rhythmic tick in the video then its the injectors clicking, normal for all direct injection injectors.
