Strange Noise When Starting Up

It's the infamous 'cluch dust in the starter' sound. It starts when it gets cold, but eventually you'll have it everytime. It's "normal" in that virtually every single Mazda6s MTX will get it.

You can take it in, and they'll replace the starter, but you'll just get the sound again later on. There really isn't any measurable damage going on. I've had the sound for over 30,000 miles without the slightest problem.
