Noise from engine area starts with window use

Having a weird noise when i activate my power windows. It seems like it is creating a rattling/surge noise in the engine compartment. Anyone ever heard of this? Thanks!

BTW it sounds like a power surge followed by a clicking/rattling

a video might help with this one. When was the last time your battery was replaced?

Sitting still i noticed with the window open going through a drive through for coffee. I hit window down instead of up in the down position. Replicates the same way every time. Ticking/surging noise from engine compartment. Thinking alternator or serpentine belt?
