Thats the sound of the motor/mechanism inside the lens.  Either the AF or Image stabilization.

Hello,

I recently got a camera but i am kinda worried because it sounds like there is a ball bouncing around.

Is that something bad?

 

Thanks,

LiquidGoo

Are you shaking the camera? If yes it could be the pop up flash.
