I am getting a metal on metal grinding sound when starting the my 2013 with 75,000 miles. It doesn't do it every time. It only last a second. Unable to tell where its coming from because it doesn't last long. Anyone have a clue please let me know.

Thanks for information which it did sound like the starter but after having someone start the car while I was outside next to the engine I found out the noise is coming from the Serpentine Belt Tensioner. It make a loud popping sound on start up. I'am thinking the spring inside is broken. Ordered one from ECS tuning today.
