The 18-55m lens that comes with the nx20 makes noises when adjusting for light exposure and the 30mm focusing motor is ever noisier. Its most like the motor you are hearing. That's why when you mount it and keep the image static (eg a landscape) you don't hear it. Samsung does has some 'quite' lenses for taking movies.

I appreciate the suggested explanation.  I had been using the 18-55 lens, so I was keen to check out this solution.  Sadly, the issue isn't lens dependent; I get the effects with a manual focus Minolta lens as well.  After a further series of trials, it seems the problem comes and goes at random, except... it doesn't happen with the camera mounted on a tripod, or so seldom that I've missed it.

Go figure that!  I'm suspecting at this stage that some electrical connection inside the audio system is rattling loose with movement, necessitating a warrantied fix.  At the moment that is my best guess.
