I think it sounds like a xpan. Each time the shutter release was depressed, it sounds like a motor is advancing the film, instead of a simple click... should've stuck to the manual shutter cocking system of the R-D1 with its pseudo film advance lever. I don't think hardcore Leica M users are going to like the sound of this new body.

Let's rephrase that... it sounds like a motordrive. A manual cocking lever would've worked better.
