I got a cd stuck in my drive ones, it sort of sounded like that, but it popped out, doesn't sound like you have that issue though.
CD player tested with and without CD. = noise still there both ways
Stereo on (volume low) and stereo off = noise there either way

I'll check the engine bay tomorrow. However, in person the noise sounds like it's inside the dash ( I know it's hard to tell where the noise originates from on video). I made another recording with my video camera to see if the sound is any better than the first video I made with my camera phone.

Here's a link to the second video:


(second 3-4 is the key click from turning)

(second 5 [immediately following the key click] through second 7 is the "problem noise", sounds like thumping/flapping)

(second 10 + is the HVAC systems fan/blower engaging because in this test I had left the HVAC on auto, but as mentioned above HVAC on or off makes no difference with regards to the problem noise)
