My copy seems doesn't have this issue, but I can double check tonight.

Please post when you have checked yours. And is yours the 2013 unit with the center pinch lens cap?

I just checked in a very quiet room. I tried many times in different speed either very slowly, moderate slow, moderate fast and very fast zooming in and out. I didn't hear tick tick tick but just normal friction sound in barrel movement like any other lenses.

I bought this lens in last Dec (so it's 2012 version) still with the old traditional Canon lens cap not pinch one. If possible can you record the noise and post sound file somewhere?  It seems that this sound only from 2013 version as you said above.

I heard recently that some owners of this lens had rubber peeling off on the zooming band. So far I don't have this issue yet that worries me. This lens covered lots of dusts during my recent Africa trip that I cleaned carefully on outside surface after return.
