Guys, I found myself worrying about this lense.

The thing is that during focusing I almost barely hear linear motors inside, but what I hear is an aperture ring motor, that does something like a chatter sound. I attached a sound of it here. Please take a quick look.

I want to know is it normal or not? I do have 35/1.4 and 23/2.0 and I dont hear so much noise from aperture ring inside these lense so I'm asking you whether is it normal or not? Does someone have this lense so we can compare?

Thanks in advance!

That's pretty much what the aperture blades in my copy sound like. If yours is damaged, so is mine, I think
