Car grinding after starter replacement. Long story...

What is your question?

I posted this issue before and now there's a new one... A couple weeks ago, I posted on here about a buzzing noise and then it wound up being a bigger issue... it was the starter. I had it replaced and in it's first week, the starter was not working properly and then did the same thing: Everything lit up and no start. So I brought it back to the mechanic since it was under warranty and said it was just connected improperly, honored the warranty and fixed it. Now it's a week later, and the car is making a slight grinding noise after the start up but runs smoothly. This just started today and the fix is only 1 week old after it's last trip. Could it be he just tightened it too much, if such a thing? or is it something else? I think it might be the battery but I'm hoping it's not the starter (again) or something bigger...

Honda OEM , or (what quality) aftermarket starter? As for the buzzing , was the ignition switch mentioned?

I need to check the receipt. But I uploaded the noise it's making. After first I thought it was the switch because of all the buzzing and that was the first thing replaced. It worked for a day before we came to the conclusion it was the starter beacuse it then just stopped altogether. I just went out and I turned the car on and all I got was the noise you hear in the end. I tried a few seconds later and the car started without any problems whatsoever... it didn't even make the noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9anBIFln8aI
