Weird noises when set on AF

When I set my S6000fd, to Auto Focus, it makes weird noises and when I press the shutter it makes clangs and dings sounds. I sent it in for repairs and I was told that those noises are normal. It is news to me, I never heard a camera that makes sounds. Who is right?

I haven't heard of the problem with this particular camera, but there are indeed some camera models whose internal focusing is just kind of loud. Does it sound like "regular" focusing noises to you, or like something is definitely broken? Is the focus operating okay otherwise? I wouldn't worry too much about it if they seem like normal noises and if the focus is working properly.

When I set it on AF it sounds like grinding something.

A soft grinding is normal on some cameras; if the focus is working fine, I wouldn't worry about it. Do watch and see if the focus begins having trouble; if it is "hunting" before focusing then there is something wrong with the internal motor, but as long as the focus is still as quick and accurate as it was before, the noise is probably a normal one. If it is a sign of a coming problem, you'll know once the focus stops working.
