Finger, there definitely is some noise coming from the camera at all times ... possibly due to the SR system, but the noise is much worse when Live View is activated. Maybe it has something to do with the mechanism that holds the mirror up.
Actually I just checked that and it makes a very similar sound while the mirror is locked up during the 2s timer mode. So I reckon that's what the washing machine sound is ... mirror lock-up.

3 days with the K30 and I have discovered MadBrain's washing machine noise. As he stated, it has nothing to do with audio encoding because you can hear it whenever the camera is in live view mode (even when not recording video ie. it can be heard when you are in still photo mode with LV on). And of course you can't turn off live view when recording video so you hear the clothes washing in the background of every clip. Some say that it is shake reduction (even when SR is turned off) but why don't I hear it when live view is off?
It really does sound mechanical but someone said that it could be the high voltages used in the display panel that are being picked up by the audio circuitry. But why can I hear it in still capture mode? I should only hear the electrical interference in playback mode when viewing and listening to the video clip.
Someone asked why use a DSLR for video? I have a (M42 mount) 1.4 50mm SMC Takumar on the camera at the moment and the video is absolutely stunning ... even (particularly?) at night in tungsten light. It is beautiful !
Just don't listen to it.
