Huh, I have a 17-55mm f2.8 IS that I purchased way back in June of 2006 (one of the first ones), and it is extremely quiet.  Maybe I should compare it to a newer one.  On the other hand, my Canon 300mm f4.0L IS lens has fairly loud image stabilization.

My state of confusion has turned into a circle of confusion.
