Crunching noise on cold start

Messages

Did a search but couldn't find anything.

On starting the car when it's cold now and again it makes a loud crunching noise for about a second. Oil levels are fine. Is it the starter motor being stuck and if so how is it fixed or is it something else? It's to do with a ep3.
 
People say it's pretty normal.

Could be the starter.

Mine started doing it a couple years ago. It's intermittent , but nothing has ever came of it.
 
Pretty sure i get the same noise? Any videos of it? I just assumed it was the starter
 
Ill start recording me starts and see if it happens, but its like danga said. Does it once in a while, more when it's cold. Means nothing.
