Starter motor is stuffed.
The pinion is not retracting quick enough and is hitting on the ring gear of the flywheel. Take the starter out and I reckon you will see chewed bits at the end of the gear.

take the starter motor out and spray the pinion with crc etc, it might help it out for the few weeks
