Sounds likethe starter gear is meshing too tight and needs to be shimmed to move it further from the flywheel. If it's too tight you might see scaring on the gears and it might hang and not instantly dis-engage after the engine starts.
 
Sounds like you have a faulty starter. First one sounds like bendix isn't retracting fast enough, second one sounds like it isn't engaging at all
 
I've heard the first,but don't remember what on. Just know it aint right!
Second one, starter it not engaging flywheel, just starter spinning, after it scrapes the flywheel.
