It could be dried salt/grit from roadspray.Wash and rinse your windows a few times and hope you haven't scratched the glass.

Don’t put silicone on glass, it will smear and is almost if not  impossible to remove!
I have some Autoglym products for glass cleaning as shown below which are very effective along with their “Glass Polish”

Another cause is crud build up in the exterior lower glass seal, I gently pull it back and use an old toothbrush with car wash solution to clean it out before rinsing thoroughly.

you can use the silicone but only on the rubber seals to help the glass glide smoothly

it will also help to stop the glass from freezing to the seal during the cold spells we are all having now.

So I don’t  need to strip the door out or take off the door card and get to the motor ?

Silicone attracts dirt and grit, best avoided totally. 

Use something like Gummi Pflege on the rubber seals to condition and prevent freezing

So I’ve cleaned and washed but still the same horrible noise 

Joking all aside - drive over a very rough road to try and dislodge whatever might be there.

Failing that it looks like a door card removal.

 

Others may have better suggestions.

Perhaps you could post up a video to give us a better idea of the noise?
Renault Meganes we’re notorious for seized up cable operated window mechanisms due to water and crap ingress but Lexus use the more reliable conventional scissor type arrangement and decent grease.
