Yup, probably the starter solenoid getting sticky. Solution 1: change the starter. Solution 2: take the starter out, take it apart, clean the parts , new lithium grease, and Bob's yer uncle! Piece o' cake!

Be sure to disconnect the battery before beginning the repair.

The common starter screech immediately came to mind. I'm starting to think they all do it. Both of mine do occasionally. I'm guessing that's what you're hearing.
