Leica 35 SL "Thud" Sound

When using my 35SL with the S1R, it made an intermittent thud noise even if the shutter button wasn't engaged and pre-AF was set to off. See below post for more details. It was quite distracting so I sold my S1R and purchased an SL. Since Panasonic recently released a new firmware, I'm wondering if anyone who owns the S1/S1R/S5 and a 35SL can tell me if the issue was resolved.

That’s the lens focussing, stepping motors isn’t it

Unfortunately it's not resolved with the new S1/R firmware.
