Default 96 Civic - slow cranking

Hi guys, have a few questions, thought you guys might be able to help.

In the past three-four days, every time I crank the car, it cranks slowly. It's not extremely slow, but it's definitely noticeable. I took it to auto zone, they tested the battery/starter and charging system, everything passed. Battery was at 100%, voltage was read at approx (with car off) 12.9 volts and (car on) 14.1 volts. Everything checks out excellently. They suggested possibly fuel filter, but.. I don't think that's it, wouldn't that just cause it to crank longer... not slower? Bought a fuel filter anyway, and hopefully will get to it soon.

Also, at a certain point when I press the accelerator, it makes... What can only be described as a cricket. Like, a slightly lower cricket's chirp, but it's a hum. No clue what the heck that can be, anyone have a guess? Doesn't seem to be an issue, just... Wondering wtf it is.

Thank you in advanced!

Clean and tighten the large starter wire connections at the fuse box and starter.

Also clean and tighten the G3 transmission ground connections.
