Why do I hear a click when I start my car?

The starter motor has got a solenoid inside of it, which gets pushed out simultaneously as you are turning the starter. If the solenoid gets stuck or doesn’t function properly, you can hear a click from your engine without the engine turning over. It can also be caused by other damaged parts inside of the starter.
