Both OM1s I've had experience with make that noise, though they can't be
called new ('73 and '77 manufacture dates, same as their respective
owners). Would I be correct in guessing that the sound is related to
changing the delay between release of the first and second curtains? It
only happens on changing to 1/60th or lower, which is also when the full
frame is open (rather than a slit between the curtains). Listen closely
enough when your OM1 is set to these speeds (realistically you can
probably only make it out below 1/15), and you will hear a faint buzzing
between the firing of the curtains.
