Does anyone else with an X hear the flash when taking a live photos? When you play back the live photo you can hear a pop sound as the flash goes off

Update:
After doing some testing I found out that it only occurs when the flash has to stay on long enough for the camera to focus. In my video I turned the flash on and it cant be heard when it doesn't need to pre-light the area. When I zoomed in to an area that the camera had to keep the flash on long to focus the noise can be heard.

Yup, I can hear the noise too in my Live Photos but to be honest, the video portion of Live Photos with flash are pretty useless with the light levels changing.
