It's not my video, but my lens does the same sound. I just bought the lens, is this sound normal or is it broken ? The version 1 I owned before didn't make that sound.

Mine does it once in a LONG while on my 1DX and 5D2. I've heard it do it maybe 20 times ever and I've owned it since December of 2011.

Nope, mine is whisper quiet.

Mine makes a short, light whoosh sound similar to the video when the IS engages and disengages. You can hear it clearly in a quiet room and it's been like that since I bought it in Dec 2010 and it works just fine. The video clip seems louder than mine though. I think it's normal and having had a 300mm f/4.0L IS for 14 years that makes a loud clunk when the IS engages and disengages, anything is quiet in comparison!

You must have the special edition with built in duck call. Lucky you.

Mine has made a similar sound occasionally. Especially when the camera is being moved around a lot, pointed up/down, portrait/landscape etc. There have been other threads on the noise.

Mine makes a similar noise once in a while but as others have said above, not often. As Julian says above it mainly happens as he described.

Mine does it too once in awhile. Canon replaced the IS ass'y in it under warranty, and it still does it. The IS still works the way it should, and I've learned to live with it.

If there's any real noise going on in the room, I can no longer hear it anymore.
