There are only two reason why a car won't start. No fire or no fuel. You have fire because it "sounds" like it's going to start. In addition you've recently replaced the battery and it seems to be charged based on what you say about the lights. If it's the starter it won't make much noise at all, generally just a clicking noise. So, by process of elimination, it sounds like you have a problem getting fuel. Is it old enough to have a carburetor?

A 9 volt dry cellular in simple terms can't chemically react at a severe sufficient value to offer the present mandatory for the time it takes to start the automobile. as an occasion a automobile battery can produce over one hundred-2 hundred circumstances extra capacity over the years than 9 volt dry cellular.

Its the starter. You dont say what year your car is, but when the starter gets older eventually it will wear out. Get the starter tested.
