This will cause wear on both the starter and flywheel teeth eventually.
If you can source a spring, starters are easy to rebuild. I would fix it...if nothing else, to save yourself the embarrassment of the loud noise

Agree. It should be easy, though not as easy as finding the slope of the line given the equation -7x+3y-11=0

Ahhh...+2.333
Is the sound while cranking the engine on the starter exclusively?

Ah, good that you remembered to put "+". I've had points deducted for not including it, go figure 
The sounds seems to be from one source only, but I've been wrong before.

Reverse the sign of x, divide by y... 7/3, 2 1/3, 2.3, etc.
Heck, even if you can't find the spring, pull the old one out and stretch it some to give it more spring. Not a permanent fix, but better than nothing.

So, Slope=7/3 and y intercept is 11/3?
