Default Loud starter?

The starter on my kids 85 seems...loud, comapred to my 87.

No wrong sounds in it, just..its louder.

Starter differences, wear..anything to concern about?

No..just LOUD from outside the car..nothing screaming 'broken'...and esp from under the hood.

Dunno..but way down on the street, wakes me up when she starts it...its loud(er).

Rob,
Great image.
I've been looking for something like this for a disassemble and cleaning of my sticky armature.
Thanks.

There is a small strip of foam on the bell housing that seals the gap between the starter and the housing. If the strip is missing the starter will sound louder.
