Hi Derby, They're almost the same despite the fact that the only sound produced by the K-01 is the aperture actuation since the shutter is open before hand (make the sound of the shutter opening when you turn in on or wake it up after it times out). With a WR (18-55) lens, the K-5 is the quietest with the K-01 perhaps just a wee bit louder; with a DA L 35, the sound becomes louder for both with the K-01 being distinctively noisier than the K-5. I suspect the WR seal dampens the noise of the aperture actuation and the general weather sealing of the K-5 also dampening the sound despite the fact it has a mirror and shutter making a racket.
