I have the same question. One of my M3's (a new acquisition I made in December) also has this sound. It seems to be harmless and I'm tempted to ignore it, but I would like to know what's going on. This sound is most pronounced at the 1s setting. The sound is that of the gear train "winding down" and it definitely occurs after the shutter curtains have completed their movement. - -Dave
