When I press the shutter, I can hear a noise inside the lens ( USM?), and it continues until the shutter is released. Is there something wrong or is it normal?

The USM can be heard when the lens auto-focus' and the IS gyro's can be heard as long as the shutter button is held half-way.
If that's what you hearing, then it's normal.

Also it lasts for about 5 seconds after you release the shutter without depressing fully.

Thank you for the replies. This puts my mind more at ease. I was worried, bec the noise coming out of the 70-200 is much louder than my 24-105.

What you hear is probably the spinning gyroscopes for the IS system.
