New Atlas EQ-G Making Funny Noises (Sound File)

I recently purchased an Atlas EQ-G, and the very first thing I noticed was a concerning noise. When I would manually slew the RA, or DEC I get this rattling noise when it slows down. I have a CPC800 with a Alt AZ mount, and it sounds consistent, and hums along quietly.
If you have an Atlas EQ-G please download this MP3 file, and listen. Does your Atlas EQ-G make this noise too?

I had the rate set to "6" in the sound file, and this sound is present with or without the telescope mounted. I have a call into Orion's Tech support, and they will listen to this sound file this morning. I want to hear what other people say about this sound coming from my new Atlas EQ-G.
Thank you,
DD
