Power window motor needs to be replaced or rebuilt or the window regulator needs to be replaced.

When you hit the button to roll the window up and the window goes all the way up, hold the UP button down and see if you still hear the same noise/does the same thing it does when it goes down.

This ^ I would have rolled down the window with the panel off then you could possibly see what's going on ? I don't know it seems like the logical thing to do ? Maybe I'm wrong

Does the window go up and down at a constant rate? If not i would think it is the motor not being able to give constant power or its getting hung up on something. I would look at the track and see if you tell of it is bent.

The window motors are common in these cars. They have plastic bushings inside that wear out overtime and chew themselves up.

This is what it looks like inside when the motor is removed and the cover is opened up.

Sometimes it can be the regulator itself, but most common are the motors.
