Hard Starts/Whining

Lately my car has been taking progressively longer to start- around 3-4 seconds. Today it made a funny sound like a jet engine shutting off when I went to start it. Usually after it starts, especially in cold weather, the thing whines like a sewing machine under throttle especially while it is heating up. Also, the exhaust shields sound like they are loose because I hear a tinny sound at 2-3k rpm. Is it time I replace the spark plugs perhaps? The car has gone 75k and god knows how long its been. Any ideas? Time to take it in while still under dealer warranty?

Could be a lazy battery. Have the battery bench checked before it really gets cold.
