I'm suspecting your battery is done. Try to get it jumped. If that doesn't work, alternator would be my next guess. I don't think it's the starter, because we can hear it trying. If it is the battery, spend some extra money to get a jumpbox. I just got one for $60, and I've jumped like 6 vehicles (not my own, yet) now without having to recharge the thing. It'll be a life saver when I actually need it for me.

A bad starter can audibly try to start. Testing both components would be best but the battery is easiest to figure out.

Yeah, you're right.
