2008 Honda civic takes a bit of time to start

I have a 2008 Honda civic and recently it's been taking awhile to start. I turn the key and the engine turns over and makes a lot of noise before starting. The car runs fine after that and doesn't make any bad noises. Is this something I should be concerned about.

electrical? Batteries have a life, depending on location, winter is the hardest - my batteries last like 2-3 years
spark plugs last like 100k miles
car parts stores check your batteries and alternators
