I went out and purchased the 18-55 IS STM. It solves the focus noise issue but sill gets out of focus (and hunts) at times when presented with big change in subject distance.

Yup, been there done that.  Unfortunately the only thing that can help with this is focusing manually, even with an STM lens.

The only other option at this time is upgrading to a 70D.  Although I'm sure hoping that the next Rebel will incorporate the new (and very effective) Dual Pixel technology.

BTW the previous poster is correct in that the M-series lenses (ie 22mm STM) are not compatible with your DSLR.

Best of luck,
