If you have a 22R/22RE...

Your starter is on the right side of the engine, below the intake manifold, so that may be your sound. First have your battery checked at an auto parts store (Auto Zone/ Advance Auto/ etc.) You need to have it checked professionally, not just measuring the voltage with a multi-meter. That doesn't tell you the battery condition (i.e. how many amps you are pulling). Next you want to check the connections for any corrosion, even pull the starter to check it's condition. (I probably wouldn't recommend nailing it with a hammer.) If you pull it, you might as well change the fuel filter. You can only reach that sucker by either pulling the starter or the intake manifold.

If you have checked all of the wiring for connectivity, your malfunction would then probably be a possible bad solonoid, starter, or maybe even broken teeth on the fly wheel (in that order).

Good luck!
