The AF is only noisy to the operator. If you're 10 feet away, normal noise in a public place usually drowns out the focusing sound.

It's interesting. I haven't bought one yet, but I've been looking at the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. All the reviews, and I mean all of them, complain about how loud the focusing motor built into the lens is. Doesn't matter the mount, doesn't matter the camera. It's just described as noisy.

I finally had a chance to try one out, not the Pentax mount, but the Nikon on a 3400. It was surprisingly quite after all the noise hype I've read about. I think perception is more important than anything else when describing the focusing sound of a lens.
