15450ST Rotor Noise?

I just got my first AP delivered - a 15450ST from 2015.
Is it normal to hear and feel the rotor spinning? Moves freely but it does make an audible sound when spinning. Non of my ceramic submariners or daytona make any peep.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Ceramic bearings on the rotor make the noise I believe. More importantly, congrats on the new addition !!!

That noise actually goes away when you don't shake it next to your ear

This is an ordinary sound on the AP 3120 mechanism.
