Strange sound when adjusting lumbar support

Hi,

I've recently started driving again my 2016 F30 after a month of "inactivity" and I've noticed some weird noise when adjusting lumbar (I have non-electrical seats but with lumbar support).

That is, when adjusting lumbar via the buttons, I can hear the mechanical parts moving around (can't really describe it, but it's pretty audible). It sounds like a cheap mechanism at work found in kid's toys. I cannot really compare to how it used to used to sound prior to my one month absence from driving but I assume it didn't sound like that since I hadn't noticed.

Anyone else who has experienced similar issues? Do you think it's worth bringing it up to the dealer?

Thanks

What you here is the air being pumped into a "bag" or the bag moving up and down as you make the adjustment...
