Not starting not sure where exactly to start

Hi all

Soooo I have minimal expertise but wouldn't mind poking a few things to see if its possible to get it running although I do feel it unlikely.

Please see the following videos, best to watch both, only about 30sec each
Probably need a bit of volume to hear how sloppy it sounds... (PODs off for a clean only, usually on)



(hope I linked those correctly there?)

Back story, it started getting slower/harder to start a good 2months ago but it was only every so often, sometimes instantly turn on sometimes it would slowly crank then fire up

It go progressively worse and would stall in traffic or as I would slow down to a red light, turn the key and no sounds at all, key to off then back on and it would either crank slow to start or just start straight up

Often when I would use the brakes my stereo would turn off also

Soooo now its at this stage where it wont turn on at all, its hard to see but the RPM randomly jumps around and theres a weird buzzing sound coming from around the alternator in the engine vid before I try to turn the car on, belts turning slow as hell

So if you guys would be so kind as to give me a few ideas before I simply take it to a shop that would be awesome, grounds appear fine, battery is new (well 4 months)

Thanks all
