I have a longer clip, but I don't think it would really help that much since the crackling sound itself only lasts those couple seconds, and the rest of the clip would just be the sound of my engine idling.

Are there any other symptoms of a bad starter? I've never had any trouble starting the car, and I don't hear the noise every time it starts, only if the car has been sitting for at least 12 hours.

It also sound like part of the exhaust rattling, but if that was the case, I don't understand why it would only happen during a cold start.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
