I had bith the E-P5 and the E-M10 Mk II and they had really very loud IS systems. The Panasonic G81 (85) on the other hand had a barely audible IS system.

Makes me wonder if that changed on the E-M 10 Mk III or is it still as loud as ever on Olympus bodies?

But are you sure it is the OIS that you hear? I suspect it could be the AF that makes the noise. Some older lenses use step motors for the AF.
