NEX 3 makes a noise when powered down. Is this normal?

I own a NEX 5 and have today acquired a 3. When the 3 is powered down, it makes a squeak or brief high pitched sound that the 5 does not make. Is this normal?

My 5 emits a kind of low beep sound when I turn it off. As Terry says I think it's the dust removal system. Interesting that your 5 is silent.

I believe you can shut it off via a menu option, but I would just leave it on, since it is doing a useful function.
