It doesn't sound unusual to me. The distortion sounds like it's from a poor quality microphone rather than the aircraft.
You can hear the normal main and tail rotor noise embedded in the clip.
I'm certainly not a sound expert but have flown the 76 nothing stands out as obviously weird about the sound.
