I don't think it's normal and I do think it's a potential problem. There is a pump in there that needs to be free-running and not making noise. Sometimes a mechanical part can get just a few microns out of whack and make noise. I'm really old, and sometimes you can just give it a little tap or two, and it will work fine. If it were mine, I'd try that. Maybe flick it with your finger a few times. If the noise won't stop, or stops and then comes back, you need to contact DS tech support because your CPU cooler is faulty. Sorry.
