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

Yes it is normal. I'm used to it and I do miss it with other lenses. It is a conformation for me that IS is working (and a hint to wait half a second to let the IS stabilize).

I used to be afraid that the noise would make me to stand out, but it seems I'm the only one hearing it, not the subjects or bystanders.

My favorite lens by the way.

All in my humble opinion of course!
