Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) employed here is genuinely quiet; so quiet in fact that the focus-confirmation beep is noisier than the AF system. It is also quick and smooth, without the race-and-judder acceleration that is exhibited by some lenses that attempt to focus just a little bit too quickly.
