Smile Starter sound

I've got to buy a new starter for my early-ish 5.3.

Forgive me but if I have to spend the money I want one that sounds like the one in my diesel truck. I put a "high torque" starter in a BBC years ago and it had that same sound. Much more "performance-oriented" sound than the stock type stuff.

Please tell me if you know of something that is affordable and sounds cool.

I know I would probably get more and more reliable starts out of a OEM starter but I just don't like the sound of them and the vehicle is a toy that is driven only occasionally.

Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

So is it gear reduction that gives that sound or is there something different about the electric motor(or both)?

Thanks
