K-3 shutter noise (relative to the AF beep) recording......... K-3 noise

A bit harsher than the K-5, which is to be expected, but it's only a touch louder.

Doesn't it all depend on the beep volume set?

For the continuous burst at the end of the clip: 23 frames in 2.8s = 8.2 fps.

Think the only way to be sure is a padded room and a decibel meter!

You keep the meter... I think I'm in need of the padded room.

I agree. Sounds quieter than K-5. More muffled. Nice.

But do people still leave the AF beep on in their cameras? It's the first thing I turn off in the menu on any camera of mine. I personally find it very annoying.
