It is not possible to tell why it won't start just by listening. It kind of tries to fire twice, this could be weak spark or poor fuel supply that gets a bit better at that point. Or, one cylinder has low compression and the starter can turn faster on that stroke, but hopefully this is not the case.
If you want to do some diagnosis, check for spark and fuel. To check for fuel, try spraying some quick start into the throttle body (where the engine gets is air). This is a substitute for gas, if the engine tries to start then good chance you have a fuel supply problem - bad pump, relay, maybe a clogged filter. Or it is out of gas... I once watched some guys try to start/boost start a car, someone came along with a can of gas, put some in, and bingo that was it all along. To check for spark, the best way is to get a spark tester, which you plug in inline with a spark plug and watch what happens when trying to start. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HU2L1NU/ref=sxts_kp_bs_lp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=YUBIU&pf_rd_r=D9W4KSPDG9DHQZT4BGBG&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B01HU2L1NU&pd_rd_w=yHcJX&pf_rd_i=spark+tester&pd_rd_r=c7b11fc8-bff3-4e6a-a8b8-690513c01be1&ie=UTF8&qid=1542685893&sr=1
