Maybe some metal piece is resonating. I doubt if the rubber on glass is
causing the noise. Does it sound the same at high speed and low speed?
That would rule out an actual rubber/glass squeak.

Jam a chunk of paper towel into the spring area on the bottom side of the
arm and see if that dampens a vibrating spring. I recall some car that had
clear plastic tubing on the spring to dampen the vibrations.
If that clears it up, some silicone sealant on the spring might be a
permanent fix.

Are you sure it's the side with the heavy pressure? Maybe it's the side
with the light pressure. Try running the wipers with one of them parked up
away from the glass.
