No, usually a scraping sound indicates the starter is dragging and needs to be replaced.

Sounds like a bad ignition switch. It could also be a bad starter solenoid. If you can find the solenoid you can unplug one of the small wires while it is trying to crank over and see if it stops. If it does it is probably the switch. If it doesn't then it is probably the solenoid.

When trying to start your car and the electricity and everything still works and it doesn't even make a noise as if it were trying to start what is wrong?

Start with the basics. Is the battery fully charged? Are the battery post clean and tight. If you answer yes to both of these and the engine will not turn over and you hear nothing, suspect the starter, starter solenoid, or ignition switch is defective.
