Starting noise
By your description of the noise it sounds to me that you may have a week starting battery. If you have the ability with a meter check the static voltage across the positive and negative terminals of the battery, the voltage should be over 12 volts. Also, check the starter generator belt tension it could be as simple as a belt adjustment. Before Battery replacement, a loose belt could be the cause of low battery voltage.
Beyond those two test mentioned if they are satisfactory it is time to call for service.
