"I noticed two cars parked in the lot next to each other"

I set up the timing so the video will start with the sentence. I have some questions.
Is he saying "I noticed two cars parked in the lot next to each other"? My listening is poor.
Does "two cars parked" mean "two cars were parked"?
Which one sounds better, the original one or "I noticed two cars were parked in the lot next to each other"?

The audio text is completely natural.
"I noticed two cars parked in the lot next to each other" is a shortened version of

There are various alternate equivalent, natural wordings.
