Window regulator. When it happened to mine, I thought the glass broke in half it was so loud. Not to worry.

That is such a common problem on our cars. My rear driver side window also went out a few months ago and got stuck midway so I took the door panel out and had to make a temp stand to hold it up till I got a new regulator.

To take the door panel out there are a few screws around the door panel. Take the window switch out, and there is another screw there. I believe there is another screw behind the light. Also carefully take out the door handle trim ring and then there is 1 last screw. The rest is on clips. There are like 5 clips toward the top of the door panel in a horizontal line that are pretty stout and take some force to get out.
