This is not normal and the camera probably should be CLAed, however, as long a properly set 1/15 sounds OK, it is probably working accurately. M shutters have intermediate speeds available between the indicated speeds except between 1/8 and 1/15 as this is where the system switches between medium speed gear trains (hollow wa-thack with echo) and low speed gear trains (buzz) so you can only get one or the other. Please note that while the M6 has the intermediate speeds available as well, the meter only works accurately at the indented speeds.
