"Shoot" Remote Timer - Canon 5d Markiii

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what may be wrong.

Thank you

Is this happening when you are trying the timer part? try it first to activate the shutter directly (without timer function) The noise you hear is probably the focus motor. Try googling youtube for a demo.
