Nikon 24-70 f2.8 Focus stutter sound?

Is it normal for the 24-70 to have that sound near the end of the focusing? Also after I have achieved focus, I attempt to focus over and over at regular intervals and almost every time I try to focus again i hear the stuttering but to a lesser extent.

Yeah I just returned it for a refund and ended up going with the 70-200 first. I should be ordering the 24-70 again in a few months when I have some income again. Hopefully things will be better this time around. The price has dropped since I first purchased this lens by about $100 too.

this lens has no VR, so when you hold the sutter when in AFC mode, in a very little shake or movement of your hand, your camera will detect it and refocus to the new point where the spot for focusing is in. you should give credit to the lens and camera for being accurate with focusing.

Mine 24-70mm does the same in AF-C mode. That's normal. It is absolutely fine in AF-A and AF-S modes.
