Whenever I start my car, it's an AOD, there is a whir-buzz sound that lingers after the motor turns over. For aboot a second or two.

Sounds like the bendix is not returning quickly enough. I would check the starter disengagment time and the teeth on the bendix and ring gear. Most likely it is the starter itself, IMHO.

Good luck.
