I’d agree, sounds like the motor is on its way.
My rear wiper did similar things and upon inspecting it turned out the washer feed pipe was leaking letting water into the motor housing, corroding the gears which presumably was causing it to intermittently freeze (eventually stopped altogether)...
I fitted one of the aftermarket gloss black honeycomb grills from eBay on my previous 3dr (same model year)
Really easy, takes less than an hour and there are plenty of guides on here and elsewhere for removing the bumper. Advise to be careful of the plastic clips at each end (wheelarches)...
Wish I could suggest anything for you, gutted for you to be honest as I know how nerve racking these non description noises can be! Could be several things.. Hope you get it sorted for as little as possible!
