I think it defaults as muted but I included sound. Pardon the party music, the construction guys near the parking lot were having a blast today lol. Anyway. It’s been cold as fuck the past couple days and this noise only happens on start after sitting several hours cold. I’m guessing either starter or belts but haven’t gone investigating yet.
I’ll check my battery. I had to get a trickle charger for it because it sat for three months while I had the engine out, but it was new enough to be revived. A buddy of mine found something on the Subaru legacy forum about the grease in the starter. It’s an '01 and I think it’s OEM, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the <30°F temps are pushing it. That reminds me, I gotta regrease my jack. It got to like 0 last winter and that thing is chunky lol.
