starter very noisy after brand new one installed

just as title says..
since i got it installed by a shop,
the car starts up faster and it starts up like a snap,
but god it sound very loud when it start,
not the engine but i guess the starter rotation noise?

maybe mine was too quiet before or something..
the car does start fine, but is this normal?

just wondering.. thanks!

noisy or grinding sound? noisy could be the starter like how newer cars have louder starters. A grinding sound indicated shimming is required.
