How bad is it...
If you engage your starter for a second or two while the engine is running? My friend did this the other day and the high pitched screech scared the crap out of him...

I wouldn't recommend doing it- but once or twice shouldn't hurt. I've done it when the car was so quiet I coudn't tell it was running. I scared me. LOL

Not a pleasant noise. Everytime it happens it makes me cringe because I know that the starter and flywheel'* life is being depleated.

I wish the aftermarket remote starters came with that relay to disallow engaging the starter after it'* already running.

I've done it once or twice, that sound kills me. But look on the bright side - at least it lets you know whats going on!
