You state it %26quot;won't crank%26quot;. Where is the brpt brpt noise coming from? The right side cover area (where the starter solenoid is) or the left lower engine cover where the starter gear engages the gear that turns the crank? If you have no voltage at the starter when you hit the button thats one thing-then its the solenoid or someother problem up the line. If you have voltage at the starter then the problem could be the starter brushes are too worn to generate the current needed, or the starter gear(s) are worn or broken.
