Since you brought up this issue, my Limited lenses have been becoming noiser, so to my F*300/4.5. This is entirely you fault. ;-)

I've been thinking about my 77/1.8 and it feels less whirry to me than it used to when it was new. Still has that "ball bearings in a race" feel to it, buy not as whirry.

Is it possible for these things to get better as they age?
