Nikkor 35mm f/2.0 AF-D and squeaky D600 autofocus motor

I bought this lens as my "go to" wide normal. It squeaks when focusing on D600. After exchanged it for another copy from B&H, I realized the squeaky noise is coming from D600's autofocus motor! This means all the screw-driven AF-D Nikkor lenses will squeal on D600.

In summary, I like the image quality from D600/35 AF-D combo, sharp enough in the center and bokeh is kind of cute. Manual focus action is light and smooth as well. I guess I will just ignore the noise.
