Manual focus lens noise is normal?

I've never owned a Hasselblad camera before so I was quite surprised when the manual focus (by wire, I know) made a very weird and uneven noise.

So I got a service case opened for it and now after they examined the gear they say that it's normal for this model (which is the XCD 65) and now I'm even more surprised.

Here's what I'm hearing:



I've never seen anyone ever mention this in any impressions or review of this lens, which makes me more confused. This isn't worth mentioning in reviews?

Does anyone on this forum have this lens and if so, does it also make this noise for you?
