Hello Steff1968

If the noise sounds like there is a loose component within the lens I would definitely advise that you get the lens looked at i.e. a noise that doesn't indicate a mechanical movement but rather that something is definitely loose. There are contact details for Sony Customer Services available on this thread:

They will also be able to advise you about whether any necessary repairs are covered by warranty.

Thanks,

Simon
