Kobo Glo HD - Crackle sound when pressing button

Hello, I'm getting this strange issue: whenever I press the power/unlock button, it makes an strange sound... I think it could be related with a bad assembly. Is this common to happen with this model? It is a bit annoying...

If this is a new purchase, I would return it for an exchange. If a mechanical switch is making any noise, except a click, the integrity of the parts is in doubt.

Luck;

Yeah, I think I'm gonna ask for exchange. Will report if new unit still has the same issues, but I hope it doesn't.
