Not sure if it was more noticeable because it was late and not much noise but noticed it sounded a bit more metallic sounding. My memory is shot so can’t remember what it sounded like. Will look up some mavic pro videos.
 
If you have a 'duff' motor, you may be able to detect which one is different by simply hand-turning the motor shells with your fingers. These don't spin free but you can feel the magnets that are mounted on the rotating shell, give a 'blip' of resistance as they pass the fixed coil-windings. Apart from those 'blips' as you rotate the shells, you should not feel anything else. If you do have some foreign obstruction in the motor - or a bearing problem, you'll feel that as an additional 'vibration' as the shells are turned.
