It is either the focusing or the zooming that sucks air into the chamber. I wouldn't worry too much about it. There are some people to attach a vacuum to the end of the lens to try to suck it out, but I wouldn't recommend doing something like that. You could cause more damage than good.

Many Canon lenses have front elements that are easily removed thus allowing access for cleaning. The 17-55 is one that opens easily. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Really when I had non-L lenses they always had stuff inside. It doesn't affect image quality. I remember my 17-85mm had a hole on the side and every time I zoomed it, it was like a vacuum sucking in air.

The dust may not affect image quality, but it bugs me just seeing it Moose
