Default Wiper motor noise

One rainy day, I was driving my girlfriend around and she asked about a noise. I said, “That’s my wiper motor.” She said it was pretty loud. And I thought to myself, yeah, it is loud. I’ve gotten used to it, but I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car (including my Rx330) where I could hear the wiper motor. It doesn’t sound like it’s damaged or anything. But I can hear it pretty easily. Is that unusual?

Wisper quiet on my GS. The oem wiper blade and motor is much quieter than the Honda I had before this or any normal car I've been in.
