Wiper Motors Too Loud?

[jpapadou]

The wiper motors on my 2026 SR5 are really loud. I can hear the motors over low-volume music. I usually just turn the music up but is this normal?

Previous ride was a 2007 FJ Cruiser and I don’t ever remember hearing the wipers…

Possibly the loudest ever made in an automobile.

Booked at the dealer to have this loud wiper motor checked out.

That comes standard, no extra fee.

You will get used to it, or if you're like me, you will eventually get tinnitus, and that will overpower the wipers.
