Default Seat noise

My 2004 is making a noise from the power seat. Not from the leather rub as I have read about. This is when the seat moves back or forward. loud enough to hear outside of car. I think that it's from the motor or the track. It is strong enough that it vibrates the seat. Any ideas on this ? I have tried to lubricate the track and it made no difference. Any help would be great...... Thanks

I've read where the rails actualy break in some spots. You might want to yank the four bolts and give it a good inspection.....

I've had the seat out and nothing looks broken . It's not good when everyone in the parking lot looks at you because your car makes a weird noise. It's almost like the sound of the motor resonate over the entire car .

Haven't found the problem yet. Sounds like motor or shaft needs lubing. Don't know what to do about this. Embarrassing when seat moves and everyone within a block can hear it.
