Have you got anything applied to the rear windscreen, wax, rainX etc?  Sometimes it causes wiper noise, judder etc. what kind of noise, does it sort of sound like a cat mowling?

Mine use to do this, but as soon as I fitted a new blade it stopped. Could be worn out?

If you use a wash with wax in it that can cause it to judder or squeak. Concentrated washer fluid will clean the glass and the wiper blade.
