CRV 26 Hybrid Touring. Wiper Relay Noise.

Question ❔

I am curious to know if others typically hear a noise from the wiper relay. It occurs when the wipers retract and resembles the sound of a turn signal. This happens consistently in auto, slow, and fast modes.

It is quite noticeable when the engine is off, and while faint, it is still detectable when driving and with music playing.

I plan to inquire if the dealership can address this during my next oil change. In the interim, I am wondering if others have experienced something similar, or if this is considered normal, especially given how quiet this hybrid engine is compared to my previous 2008 Fit and Accord.
