Is this normal or not?

This is a little off topic.
Anyone uses Canon Elura 40MC?
When I use a Maxell miniDV tape to record, it has a "tic"-silent-"tic" sound as the tape recording and rolling. And the microphone is pretty sensitive and pick up this "tic" sound.
So when I captured the video and play it on my laptop, there is also this "tic" background sound.

So is this normal the tape rolling with certain "tic" noise?

I thought this was a mechanical problem (hopefully not), but... the noise sounds like something tightening, so I changed another tape, and this time no noise.
Clearly the problem from the tape now, so anyone can tell me what's going on with the tape.

By the way, this is the first time I use a digital camcorder and the first tape I've ever put in. So the noise thing made me nervous ~_^
