Q: 10. I purchased this lens and the focus noise is MUCH louder than the 24-70mm f/4 S lens. Is that typical for this lens or do I have a bad copy?

A: I borrowed this lens from a friend took the dive early to try it on my Z6. I haven't noticed any difference in auto focus sound between this and my 24-70. Both are very quiet. One note is that if used for video, you will pick up a nearly discernible buzz but again this is the same on both lens. Possibly pull the lens and remount to make sure it is secure and locked, other than that I don't believe you should hear any difference form your 24-70. I'll be placing an order for my own 35mm Z lens tomorrow.
