Yes, its IS is noisy

The 70-200 f4 IS has the most noisy IS of all my lens. I think it is the last of IS lens that use rotating gyro for sensing movement. For compensating movement, its actuators make clicking noise also.

Don't worry about it. It is normal. My 70-200 worked without problem for over 7 years.
