Likely to be the orientation sensor. IIRC it's a small tube with a ball in it. The ball stays at one end and it's a horizontal shot, rolls to the other and its a vertical shot. I can just about hear it in my 1DmarkII. You'll find it interesting when photographing looking straight down or up. Like when doing repro work. If you handhold shooting straight down, some shots will be horizontal and some will be vertical :-) Don't even ask what happens if you take the camera into orbit.....
