I just upgraded to the f/3.5-5.6 version of the 18-55mm IS STM and am very happy with it. It focuses practically silently!

Alright... How about sharpness?

Focus noise is relevant, but since the shutter is noisy anyway on most dslrs and people notice you because of the size of the camera, the noise the lens makes isn't as critical- unless you're a professional shooting indoor weddings and stuff.

As for the video part(where AF noise would be picked up by the camera mike)- do people actually shoot videos with dslrs? In my mind this would be like a man who decides to ride a dinosaur instead of a horse- mirrorless cameras seem more suitable for the task than any dslr.
