weird huge sound when engine cranks to start

When I try to start my engine, there is weird huge sound coming out from somewhere under the car. I don't know if it's the starter. My starter is not updated. My car has 64000km on it and it's 2004.
Please help.

... so have you checked the belt? Should be pretty obvious ince you open the hood if it's that or not.
