Pentax K1ii running sound

Hi all, I was shooting some portraits in a very quiet space this morning and I was suddenly aware that, for about 5 seconds after I half press the shutter the camera makes a very quiet buzzing noise. Is this normal? I turned off shake reduction and it made no difference. Is this just something that this camera does?

Thanks!

A very quiet buzzing noise is normal, yes.

Even with shake reduction turned off, the system will still operate to hold the sensor fixed in place.
