Sometimes when I start my Spark, I get a loud noise, which sounds like the Gimbal motor or something to the effect that it sounds broken. Should I send it in to be looked at? Is that normal?

It's normal...

I asked this question a while back (https://forum.dji.com/thread-108400-1-1.html) and was told it is normal. I have since made a video to be used as reference for gimbal noise.

Glad to know it's normal and thanks for the video.

Get that noise too .......

Are you sure it’s the gimbal? If I hold my spark and wiggle it, I hear the fan speeding down, even more if I wiggle harder. as is if the gyro effect creates lots of friction in the fan bearings.

DJI Spark Gimbal Noise

what you hearing is the fan motor due the sudden movements..it's normal..you can find sparks that maybe don't do that noise when you move them but this is not indicating any issue!

Rockmsu, did your spark creates the similar noise as the video in #3. It is normal in that way. Please do not worry about that, it is the sound of fan.
