Hissing motors on MK2.5, also on MK3?

So I've "upgraded" my MK2.5 with the MMU1->2 upgrade and all 3 motors are hissing pretty loud.
I was expecting it as it was mentioned in the forum, but not that bad.
It makes it impossible for me to stay in the same room as the printer for long and honestly, this can't be good for the motors right?

Question is: Is this an MK2.5 specific thing or does that happen on the MK3 as well?
If not I might consider moving the MMU to my other printer, if it is, I'll probably just bench it and stick to single filament.

I'll just reply to my own question I guess... From what I read in other topics the hissing motors is apparently a problem on both MK3 and MK2.5

it's also a normal sound for steppers....but it's current setting or something is wrong/off.

On my MK3 MMU2 it's also present but it depends on the motor positions.
It sounds pretty same like on my MK2S. So doesn't really worries me.
