Odd wiper noise

Ok...so now and then my wipers make a weird rattling sound. I can't find anything loose in the wiper system......anyone else had that noise pop up?

does it kind of sound like the gears in the motor?

Mine has a rattle type noise that sounds like it is from the motor gears, only seems to notice it though when they are on the return sweep.

My drivers side wiper has a noise when it changes direction from the upstroke to the downstroke. Not sure if id call it a rattle or not but, i think the spring under the arm is weak or moved alittle out of place. I moved the spring side to side while spraying some silicone spray on it and it went away, at least for now anyway.
