with longer focal length lenses the IBIS mechanism is, for a given amount of camera shake, needing to shift the sensor a lot further and a lot faster than it does with shorter lenses.

So IMO more audible noise can be expected from the IBIS mechanism when you use your 200mm lens compared to your 50mm lens

BTW, if you keep the rear LCD closed and allow the EVF  to time out the IBIS mechanism (and lens IS) will shut down when you take your eye away from the viewfinder
