Auto focus noise on video - Present on G5 X?

A question for those of you who have the G5 X. Is the sound of the auto focus (clicking/grinding noise) that plagued the G7 X present on the G5 X in video mode? I had the G7 X briefly, but returned it due to that issue. I've seen/heard videos of the G7 X Mark II that indicate it's still present on that new model as well.

I own the G9 X, which doesn't have that problem. The on board audio still isn't the greatest, but at least you're not hearing that noise in quieter settings. That the G9 X, for whatever reason, doesn't have that problem makes me wonder if it may have also been "solved" for the G5 X, since they were both released at about the same time. Any info would be appreciated.
