Might be nieve but thinking the noise is just the starter attempting to turn against resistance way beyond its limit?? Will replace if required but it's practically brand new. Gonna order Genuine copper washers just for peice of mind I think

A starter motor is just a heavy duty electric motor. If it can't turn then there no noise.. maybe a slight hum or crackle if there's a bad connection.
I don't know what's on your car but I'm assuming it's pretty bog standard.. pre engaged type with no fancy gearing inside it
