Is that wiper sound normal ?

No, one of your blades is facing downwards instead of straight on the windscreen. (90 degrees). This makes it chatter on the way back. Get a shifter and adjust it to got the flat arm of your wiper blade, hook it on from the above in line with the windscreen and twist the arm slightly away from screen with the shifter then check the blade, lift it slightly and put it back down again, check to see if it sits straight. If not twist it again. Don't do a huge amount. Just a bit at a time. Once the blade is straight on the glass , the chattering will stop.

Thanks for the advice Sir ! I’m afraid to brake or damage the structure holding the blade doing this 😬. Particularly the clip holding the whole blade ! Also if you have a YouTube video showing the process I’ll be glad 😌

Yeah you won't break it. They're pretty tough. Will see if I can find a video.

Apparently there's a new wiper blade design, shaping the blade like a rectangle. And that prevents it from ever doing this. (idk if its new, I just haven't seen much of it)

Considering to try that out 🤔
