Check the bottom end of the wiper arm isn't scrapping off the windscreen, I've seen them rubbing here before.

Maybe the nut isnt tight enough and shes clicking over the grooves. Also check that the blade as mentioned isnt scrapping off the window - aka its not to one side and there is sufficient blade.
One way of sorting it would be to turn it on and go to the back and wait for it to make the sound.

Some people will need to file/sand down the bottom of the cap that clips over the nut/washer nozzle. This is down to how the wiper motor is bolted on inside the tailgate, some poke through the hole more than others.
if the cap looks like it's almost touching the glass then pop it off and rub it on a piece of sandpaper to file it down by 2mm.

thanks for the help chaps!
i will go out and double check just after the F1 finishes, but i dont think the cap is touching the screen.
I didnt do the nut up as tight as it was when i removed the old wiper, but it is still pretty tight. its more of an annoyance than anything else.
I shall post an update later and let you all know how i get on.
Cheers!

Could be the cap popping off it's mounting every time it moves. Or it's the arm on the screen. I've got a scratch on my rear screen because the arm was rubbing on it. Attacked it with a hacksaw and it's sorted.
mine rubs the screen even after trimming the cap stupid thing, in some ways wish I never bothered!
Just fitted mine about 10 mins ago, top of the cap just touches the screen but the bottom is well clear lol,
gonna atack it tomorrow because I canny be assed now!!

Piece of piss mate, undo the 13mm bolt and gently rock the arm back and forth in the upright position.
What age is your car, this isn't just the washer spray bar top end starting to move with the wiper arm (the washer spray bar should remain stationary pointing straight up). If this is what is happening, then maybe you have forced an early spray bar failure when you "reworked" the rear wiper. These should be a repair kit available if it is the spray bar problem - run the wiper and check that the spray bar is stationary, if only to delete this as a possibility.
my rear window is scratched to hell its not only the cap that need strimmin sometimes the actual arm needs trimmin, just remember when i seen this, im off to trim mine just now coz it really does bug the hell outta me, like nails on a chalkboards when u use it
aah! mine isnt nearly that bad! i've decided that since its not scratching my rear screen any, and it cant be heard above the road noise of the car, let alone when i have my music on, im gonna leave it as is!!
Thanks for all your help though chaps (and chapesses!) i may need it again soon
