It's possible the noise you heard was the Bendix drive in the starter staying engaged and hitting the flywheel. This would explain noise than no noise then no start. Replacing the starter is not the hard. I'd try tightening the bolts to the converter too, but I doubt that is where you problem lies they just don't pop out one day and then go away the next. I've been wrong before though.
