Check the battery, sounds about dead. The noise could simply be the starter and solenoid do not have enough amps to turn the engine.

Recheck the battery and its connections-now if it can start and the noise is there-might be a timing chain problem further investigation is required.

After getting the battery properly load tested and if its not the problem, I wouldn't be surprised if the starter is going bad. One of toyota's weak link. I change them all the time.
