105mm Micro VR Noisy

I have read a several posts where people find the 105mm Micro very loud when VR is turned on, Today I just bought a new 105mm from a local camera shop and it too is loud and noisy - to the point of being annoying. When I push the AF-ON, the motor starts and it will run a couple of seconds AFTER I release the focus button?

However, with that said, it does seem to preform very well handheld with VR on and getting very close.

As stated, this seems to be a "condition" of this lens in about 1/2 the posts I read, but I am wondering, now that it's been out for quite some time, has anyone come across issues over time with the lens?

Is this something that I should try to find a quieter version of, or something I just need to get used to?

I picked mine up second hand, so can’t comment on the age overall. I can say, I’ve had no issues with the quality of the lens, only the noise.
