Re: How much "rattle" from sensor-shift unit in X-H1 (T4)

When camera is off and you gently "jiggle" or tilt body from side to side holding the grip, how much noise do you hear from inside the camera? Is it completely silent or is there sort of a mechanical clack-clack?
I don't remember it being there when I got it. After recently having it serviced, I noticed the difference straight away.
So either it got banged in shipment upon first getting it and it got "lodged" and the service tech fixed it.
OR
Something happened in shipping from service center to me.
I never noticed or saw an error warning before and I don't see one now. I remember my old Sony A's used to show if it was working or not.
Any thoughts?
The sensor moves while the camera is off on models with the ibis inside. You can move the camera freely of course but it's not suggested to make it sound like that every time.
Btw I always get a stronger "clunk" when powering on my X-H1 or when I come back from the playback menu. If you leave the camera on the desk while powering on you can feel almost the vibration. The huge Lumix S1 in comparison is silent and almost flawless considering the huge ibis.
The annoying part is when you want to do a quick review, the sensor get locked in place doing that "clunk" and when you press the shutter to take picture again every time the "clunk" is there. This is very annoying during quick playback overviews, it makes noise and vibrates every time, you feel more that you are wearing the camera components life more than expected. Annoying for me, while the ibis noise is average during normal use, nothing strange otherwise when the camera is off.
