This is correct for arming the flight controller, however the ESC will still arm (beep correctly) if there are errors in the flight controller prohibiting it from arming

<p>Sounds like there is a voltage drop...but could it also be a new noise?

Most likely the FC is not arming the ESC for some reason. The best way to solve arming problems is to connect up the VTX and see what warning message BetaFlight is showing in the OSD.

Also, in the second video, some of the beeps (the loud ones) are coming from your beeper, which is triggered by the FC.
