There still seems to be a lot of angst on this topic, so I went back and looked at my copy again. It might have gotten a little louder after the firmware update, but I still have to put my ear all the way to the lens to hear it.

I made a recording with my iPhone and put it on OneDrive. I put the microphone right at the base of the lens, started the recording, turned the camera on, turned the camera off, and stopped the recording. The hissing or whirring sound you hear between 3 and 6 seconds is the lens. The clicking sounds at either end are the camera switch and aperture constriction.

Again, I have to put my ear right next to the lens to hear it. With my eye to the viewfinder it's barely audible at all.

Is this what you're hearing?
