I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

I just received my SD970 and noticed that it does make a chattering/hunting noise when in full-Auto mode. It seems to do this for 3-4 seconds until the camera and the scene are stable.For whatever reason, it doesn't do this in "P" mode even though I set it to AI-Servo Auto-Focus. So it must be more than just the focus causing the sound.There is a very slight reference to this in the owners manual -- but wanted to verify this is normal operation.

I think that is just your auto focus. I get the same sounds from my Nikon D3100 in the video mode. But, only when it is focusing. These are primarily still picture cameras. Video is just a nice option and as yet not quite perfected yet, I guess. The more you use the video function, the better you will get at focusing and you can kinda work through it. I personally don't use it that much, but it's nice to have if you do need it.

I just purchased the Sony HT-7000DH and hear a clicking sound. Were you able to fix this problem? I may end up returning this product.

I hear the motor moving the camera. It is pretty loud. But, don't hear something is clicking.

I haven't noticed noise from the shutter, but there is some noise when the camera is turned on - I suspect from the sensor cleaning unit. Noise, however, is not usually an issue since I shoot mostly outside.

It makes a click-clack sound that is not loud. For details, see my answer to the question: "Does this make noise?..."

Hi Wally, This clicking noise is not a problem or a fault, I have had two of these digital angle finders, [first one was stolen] and they both did it from time to time. A close friend found the same with his. After you have changed the batteries if it starts clicking, try turning it off for a few seconds and then on again, this may help. But to tell the truth I never worried about it as it never affected the accuracy of the level and it generally stopped clicking after about 10 seconds.Hope this helps.Merv

That is noise from the Canon M. I have the same problem. It sounds a lot better on records with less internal noise.

Is the camera constantly trying to focus? The only motor I can think of is the one that moves the lens. Try it standing in a stationary position filming or photographing something that is not moving - like a tree trunk. If you don't hear any sound because the lens doesn't have to move to refocus, then I would guess it is the lens motor. I didn't like this camera personally and ended up returning it.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

I purchased Dec 2011, my unit has a clicking, but it happens only when I move the camera around, like shaking it or more like when it's rocked side to side. It sounds like something is loose inside, like a small screw. It happens all the time, even when the camera is turned off. If I didn't know of the issue, I may not have really noticed, so, not a huge issue for me. Camera works great nonetheless and I still love picture and video results.

Mine does the clicking as well on startup. It is sound activated with a built in microphone. Have you tried it with music?

If you have the Cine version, it should not even be able to click. My guess it is the camera that is making the clicking sound.

Does the lens make a noise when it auto focuses or zooms? I make YouTube videos and if my camera zooms in the middle of me talking in a video that would just be distracting and awkward. :/

Mine does not make any clicking noise. That definitely sounds like a defect to me.
