Yes. It's almost as annoying as READING YOUR POST.

I noticed the same thing in my gf's car. It almost sounds like the click that the car makes when you use the turn signals. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

It's the sound of the relay that clicks together when the wipers turn on. You can't get rid of it unless you insulate the relay somehow. This was apparently picked up by Honda as they moved the relay to the engine bay for the AP2's so it's less noticable.

I have the same aforementioned click. Perhaps it is normal?

The annoying clicking noise, most noticeable at low speed is normal. It is the sound of the relay switching coming on. It is very difficult to get to under the dash; insulating it would cut down the noise.
