Default Weird noise when starting my car, please help!

I drive a 2005 Honda Accord LX. My car seems to start fine first thing in the morning but as the day goes on it doesn't start so well. I will attach a video to this message. Any help is greatly appreciated. I hate to start throwing money at it without knowing what's going on. No check engine lights.

Won't let me upload a video of my car, but here is a link to the video.

Check fuel pressure.
Does it smoke when it starts?
Do you smell gas?

Thank you so much for replying. I was wondering if anyone had seen my post. Do I need to put it into another category? Were you able to see the video and hear what I was talking about? I wondered about fuel pressure. Are you thinking fuel pump? No smoke or smell of gas. It starts fine first thing in the morning and then I will drive it to the gas station and it will be hard to start. I wondered if it could be the battery or the fuel pump. It's not misfiring or burning through gas.

Battery, NO Sounds like the purge valve is sticking. That will cause a hard start but you usually can smell gas. Smell under the hood when starting.
