What kind of noise are you experiencing?
If its a shriek that lasts only a second after twisting the key, it could well be the starter bendix failing to retract - its caused by lack of lubrication or a buildup of debris.
Only solution is to remove the starter motor and lube (dry lube only) the shaft.
