Q3 OIS rattle

The OIS in my Q3 rattles much more than in my Q2M. Would this be normal, because it's a somewhat different camera?  Perhaps because more Mp needs different OIS?

I don’t know how OIS technically operates. But I compared my Q2M and Q3 and at least these examples did not produce any meaningful differences on their sounds when OIS was in work. Maybe tiny difference but OIS in both Q2M and Q3 is quite cilent.
 

Maybe someone more technically skilled can elaborate more of the works of OIS?

Alternatively, I think Kirk may be referring to the rattle when the camera is powered off.

It sounds the same on or off.

With my original Q the rattle is only when the power is off.  I can't recall anyone mentioning the rattle in any generation of the Q when the power is on.

There’s a very slight rattle on my Q2M when it’s off, but nothing like this.

Ok, when I shake the cameras, the rattling sound is quite the same for Q2M and Q3 (power off and keeping the lens up for loudest sound).

I'll give Leica a call tomorrow.

I don’t have the Q3 yet. But both the Q and Q2 rattled when they were off.
