Is this disk salvageable?

Apple II folks, can you help with this? I have a disk I’m trying to image, but can’t even get it to read. I verified I can read other disks. In the video below is a Fantavision disk that doesn’t read side A, but does read side B. The disk to image doesn’t read at all. It sounds similar (but a little different) to the failed side of Fantavision.
Are the noises just the drive looking for track 0?
Are there any things I can try to recover data from the disk?
