Mine made that noise a few years ago; ripped it apart and re-greased it, and the sound went away until this summer, and I gave in and bought a new Bosch unit.
Pros: sound went away

Replaced the ignition switch with OE VW Installed a brand new Bosch starter today due to the battery terminal on the solenoid breaking off internally Thought the new starter would be the answer, but no
Pros: new starter installed
Cons: starter not the answer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
But a lot of stuff is available as white label stuff, ie: the starter cost the same as any other car starter when I got the generic Bosch version.
Pros: generic version available
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
DIYer advice: when I go on RockAuto's website, I see that Bosch offers 2 different starter motors: one for the manual, with 0.8 kW, and one for the automatic, with 1.0kW (click on the Info buttons for that information).
Pros: Bosch offers 2 options
Vehicle:
Toyota Echo
I replaced on my 2016 with a brand new Bosch. In 2019. Still going strong
Pros: still going strong
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I have the Bosch Starter for my 3.0, my last replacement from autozone that was 200+ didn’t even last 2 years, Bosch still going strong and I have cheap duratrash as a backup in my tool chest but it’s been collecting dust!!
Pros: long-lasting, reliable
I submitted the VIN # to the dealer and he said it is the Bosch starter...$591...
from rock auto a Bosch new starter is $190.00 CDN for an automatic
Pros: new starter, automatic
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Definitely get that starter -- even the OEM new Bosch ones suck
Cons: OEM new ones suck
Vehicle:
Volvo
Modern Bosch starters are smaller and way lighter (17lbs vs 8lbs) than the stock ones.
Pros: smaller, lighter than stock
