If you measure the distance from one tooth to the next on the starter cog, and measure the distance from one tooth to the next on the starter ring, they should be the same.

While you are there, check the state of the teeth on the starter ring.
Chewed up teeth can mean a new starter ring I'm afraid.
Sometimes you can get away with filing the roughness out with a diamond file.

Growling can be caused by many things I'm afraid.
If you strip the motor, you may find what's wrong.
If you find nothing wrong, and re-assemble it, you may find that it will work quietly.

I've never found to much rythme or reason to starter motor foibles.
Even a poor connection in the circuit can mean a noisy starter motor.

The easiest way I know to find a poor connection is to crank the engine over with the ignition leads off for a while, and then feel along the circuit for a warm point or two.
Any warm points are your poor connections.

Good luck.

I suggest you check the teeth on the starter dog mesh easily with the teeth on the starter ring Wole.
The two need to match, and it's much easier to check before you fit.
