Last time my car wouldn't start and made clicking noises. After struggling for a while, I finally realized it was a starter issue. When you turn the key and hear a clicking sound, it's most likely a dead battery or loose connections. If you hear a high-pitched metal grinding screech, it could mean the starter gear isn't engaging with the flywheel properly. What scares me most is hearing heavy banging noises from the engine bay - this might indicate a broken timing belt or internal mechanical failure. There's also this whirring sound when the starter spins but can't turn the engine over. In these situations, don't keep trying to start the car repeatedly. Especially if you smell burning or see smoke, cut power immediately and get it checked by professionals. I once tried jump-starting unsuccessfully and ended up calling a tow truck anyway.
