PC3K7 output noise when changing patches

Hi all. I'm on my second PC3K7 and have the following issue: every time I change patches, either with the wheel or the buttons, I get a little blip of white noise from the speakers (Roland KC-350 keyboard amp). I bought a used PC3K7 a few months back which had this problem, and I returned it, and I have just bought another virtually new synth and it is exactly the same. Has anyone else noticed this with their PC3K7s? I have a PC361 which does not do this, as well as a K2500XS which does not do this ( nor do any of my other 40 synths make any noise when changing patches).
Any help appreciated.
Regards, Vic

Are you using samples or have samples loaded?

No samples, straight out of the box. Previous owner found it to be too much synth for him, barely opened the manual, only played a few piano presets with headphones and sold it to me.
I had the exact same problem with the first one, which I returned as faulty.

Contact Jean at customer support (support@kurzweil.com). If possible capture audio of the problem and attach it to the message.

Thanks Dave - will try to get a decent recording today. Surprised that no-one else has found this, as I've had it in 2 PC3Ks - different amps, different locations, so unlikely to be location based, and none of my other Kurzweils make a sound when changing programs.
