NEW 24-70mm f2.8ii Zoom Ring "Ticking" While Zooming

Did anyone who purchased the 24-70mm F2.8 II got the same problem

I recently got a new Canon 24-70mm F2.8 II and it has the same clicking sound while zooming. In fact it is like the sound of some gears.

Is this normal? I have looked at this issue and did not get a clear answer. The fact that the gears type of sound means some friction and that may be a potential failure point in future.

Could anyone please share your experience - especially on the newer lenses?
