The issue didn't exist for me on Android 13, the telephoto lens always made similar noises when changing zoom levels or even shaking the phone but apparently, that's just a thing that happens rather than a bug.
see @sanguinepar's edit, it doesn't seem to be due to the update
Now that you say it, it doesn't seem to happen every time. It actually may be depending on how I hold the phone or something?
Whatever the case it's a pretty weird issue still.
See if it's still within warranty and if it's the case send it back to Google, the lens might be faulty. If not, try to get a quote from a repair shop that can replace that lens. Your issue sounds definitely like a mechanical problem.
It seems fine otherwise, the "jolt" is just momentarily when swapping camera modes. Sorry if I didn't clarify very well.
