This is interesting. My car has been making a similar or the same noise for 30 years or so - I can hear it around 40 mph. I swapped a rebuilt engine into the car 6 months ago and still hear the same noise. The water pump, entire clutch assembly and flywheel were also replaced. However, the same starter is on the car....

When I had the starter out for the engine swap, the ring gear teeth on the old flywheel and teeth on the starter be did looked fine. So I still am not sure what the noise is.
