My kit lens 18-135f/3.5-5.6 IS does not make any noise like this one does. Is this normal? 60D | 70-200 f/4L IS | 50mm f/1.8 II | 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS

General rule of thumb is the bigger the lens, the louder the IS. Oh and if you start moving the lens around, it'll get even louder Photography is the art of exclusion
