99 Camry windshield wiper noise

If the wipers work well and there is no dragging on the motor due to tight linkages in the wiper mechanism, the motor is probably just making 'lamination noise'. This is an effect where the many small sheets of metal which make up the armature's core (the part which turns in the motor) are vibrating in sympathy with the load on the motor,.....not a problem, except for the noise.

Thanks for your assurance that nothing terrible is happening. My mechanic noted that by squeezing the motor casing while the motor was operating that the sounds would vary. In my presence he disassembled the linkage, bushings, etc, thoroughly cleaned and relubed. Checked inside the transmission casing and nothing appeared to be stripped.
