Um...strange electric noise?

Ok, I don't know how to describe this but I'll try... I'm not sure when this started but lately, when I put my key in the ignition and I try to turn on the car, I hear a noise.. It sounds kinda like whenever you try starting the car after it has already been started... You know how it gives that small grinding noise? And it sounds electrical too?

well, that's what i'm hearing... soo..is my starter going bad or what? anyone know what the hell i'm talking about?

If you try and start the car after its started already your grinding the starter gear against the flywheel. The only sound I hear when its quite enough is the fuel pump pressurizing the fuel system, and this is usually even before I turn the key completely over to the start position. Is that what your hearing?

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. Next time I'll try to pay more attention cuz I don't think I turned the key all the way when I heard the noise. Thanks.
