Hello,

Is sounds like the starter bendix return spring has broken but to be sure can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise, that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. I would remove the starter to confirm the gear is not being returned into the starter here is a guide to help you walk through the steps of removing it with diagrams below to show you in your car.
