Contax G1 Question...

I picked up a Contax G1 with a Carl Zeiss Planar 2/45 T lens that I'm not that familiar with...It's working perfectly as far as I can tell, but, to me anyway, the AF focus seems noisy. My question for those that may have experience with this model is...Does this sound normal? Are these just a little noisy while focusing?
 
One of the sharpest, most contrasty, gorgeous color-rendition, 3-D popping lenses I've ever used. A favorite. If I was ever forced to only use one lens the rest of my life this would be it.
 
For 35mm photography I don't think that lens can be bested. It's wonderful, and worth putting up with a little noise.
 
Beautiful images! I'm so excited!
 
All the non-pano shots in this series on the pilgrimage up Croagh Patrick in Ireland are taken with the G2 - all but one picture with the 45. Some cropped a little. Click photos for larger slideshow.
