Focusing mechanism works making a buzzing sound of average intensity. Autofocus is not demonic fast either. It takes it noticeably more than one second to go through the entire scale, slightly faster from the minimum distance to the infinity than the other way round.

On the other hand, there were no problems of front- or back-focusing or accuracy of the mechanism. Definitely a wide depth of field helped here, but in the final result, in studio conditions, Tamron missed in 1% cases.
