Like sewing machine coming maybe from the a/c compressor.

I got rid off it by turning the car and a/c on, and turned it off again.

Usually after the car's been shut down. Meaning the key out off the ignition, and the car's been locked.

Does it keep repeating like that in person or does it only repeat on the video?

Repeats randomly usually stops after 3-4 occurrences, but last night was the first that it did it continuously.

I had strange AC related sound this week that bothered me a bit. It was as if the belt on the compressor was slipping.

But you heard it when the car's running? On mine everything was off, even locked when the sound kept on repeating itself.
