Sound from lens on startup is normal n/t

Hello guys - Looking for some views on a potentially disturbing sound from the lens mounted on my new GX-7 (first M4/3 camera).

I hear a sound which is kind of sounds like "Churruk" for a small fraction when lens tries to activate or sort as soon as I switch on the camera.

I am not talking about or bothered with the AF noise the lens makes. But its just the startup noise which comes as soon as I switch on the camera, that's it.

I don't think it was there till yesterday.

No issues seen on AF or any function of lens/Camera though.

Anything to worry about ?
