Same noise here on start up. Dodd's Camera, where I made the purchase, said it's the stabilization mechanism centering the sensor.

That's what I have always understood too. It could be a myth, but SR is never actually "OFF" if you're working without it , it is 'Inactive' , and there is some transition from however the sensor is parked when powered down to its working position.
